Shopping on line can be easy, simple and save you lots of money. It can also take a lot of your time, frustrate you, and result in unwanted purchases. Now the same can be said for regular high street shopping, but with the vast opportunity presented by the Internet it will pay you to spend a few minutes reading this and understanding how to better optimize your The Cool War shopping experience:

1. Compare - without doubt the biggest advantage that the The Cool War offers shoppers today is the ability to compare thousands of The Cool War at a time. This is a great thing, but not necessarily all the time! Too much can be daunting at times so take advantage of the great comparison sites and where possible let them do the hard work for you.

2. Research - if it has been said it will be on the internet. Ignorance is no longer a justifiable reason for buying the wrong thing. Take the time to research in detail everything that you could possible want to know about

3. Testimonials - don't know anybody that has bought a The Cool War? Wrong! If the The Cool War is good the internet will let you know. Use the Internet as a friend and get testimonials before you buy.

4. Questions - Got a question about The Cool War then search the Forums, FAQ's, Blogs etc. Don't be afraid to ask .....

5. Reputation - Never heard of the company selling The Cool War? Don't worry, no reason why you should know every company in the world, but you know someone that does! Use the internet to find out what people are saying about The Cool War and build up a picture of their reputation for sales, returns, customer service, delivery etc.

6. Returns - still worried that even after all of the above your The Cool War wont be what you want? Check out the returns policy. There is so much competition now that someone, somewhere is bound to offer the terms that you are comfortable with.

7. Feedback - happy with your The Cool War then let people know, after all you are depending on others people input in your buying decision, so why not give a little back.

8. Security - check for the yellow padlock on the The Cool War site before you buy, and the s after http:/ /i.e. https:// = a secure site

9. Contact - got a question about The Cool War, or want to leave a comment then check out the sites contact page. Reputable companies have them and respond.

10. Payment - ready to pay for your The Cool War, then use your credit card or PayPal! Be aware of companies that don't accept them, there may be genuine reasons but given the huge amount of choice you have when buying online there is no reason at all not to buy via credit card or PayPal.

|-! style="background:#ffdead;"| Start:| June 2007| June 2007|-! style="background:#ffdead;"| Opponents| Carbon dioxide (CO2):Supporters of the natural refrigerant CO2: Greenpeace, Deutsche Umwelthilfe, ixetic, Konvekta, SINTEF, Shecco (Alliance for CO2 Solutions)|Chemical blends:Supporters & producers of chemical refrigerants: Honeywell, DuPont worldwide, with an ongoing dispute between the Alliance for CO2 Solutions supporting the uptake of sustainable CO2 Technology in passenger cars, and chemical giants developing new chemical blends. The Choice Today - New Chemical Blends or CO2

The Alliance and its supporters – scientists, [Non-governmental organization and business leaders – urge the car industry to replace high global warming chemical substances with the natural refrigerant carbon dioxide (CO2, R744 / R-744) in car cooling and heating. This, they argue, would lead to 10% less car emissions, and knock out 1% of total greenhouse gas emissions worldwide. Car Air Conditioning & the Climate Change Challenge - Made Simple If CO2 Technology is applied in other sectors, such as commercial and industrial refrigeration, heat pumps for water heating etc., it may even save up to 3% of the world’s greenhouse gases.

Opponents of the Alliance claim that CO2 Technology is not cost-efficient and safe, hence seeking to postpone the global industry decision to be taken this summer to develop new chemical blends instead.

Background The Cool War has emanated from the decision of the European Union to phase out the current high global warming refrigerant HFC-134a in car air conditioning from January 2011 onwards. European Directive 2006/40/EC relating to emissions from air-conditioning systems in motor vehicles To comply with the legislation, carmakers have to decide today on a new refrigerant, as they typically need 3-4 years to develop and introduce a new car platform including the air conditioning system. The current total value of the car air conditioning market is estimated to be $14.5 billion in 2007.

Arguments for CO2 The Alliance for CO2 Solutions and its supporters agree that the refrigerant CO2 is:







Arguments against CO2 Opponents in The Cool War claim that CO2 Technology is more expensive than current systems and future chemical blends as it requires the design of completely new high-pressure systems where so-called “drop-in solutions” (the adaptation of current systems to new substances) would be more cost-efficient. Their second key argument is that CO2 is toxic, leading to suffocation in high concentrations.

Both arguments are challenged, however, by the Alliance for CO2 Solutions. According to the group the initial costs of CO2 systems will be around €5 higher than drop-in solutions. Over a car’s life cycle, however, CO2 air conditioning systems will be more cost-efficient than any currently used or proposed new chemical blends. (see #Arguments_for_CO2).Regarding the issue of toxicity, CO2 has been classified as Safety Class A1 (low-toxic, non-flammable refrigerant) by the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) ASHRAE Standard 34 – the highest safety class possible. As the charge of CO2 to the air conditioning systems is very small (200-400 g) there is no realistic danger for the passengers, even in case of accidental release.

Latest & Next Steps In September 2007, the German Association of the Automotive Industry (VDA) officially announced to use CO2 as the refrigerant in next-generation air conditioning. Other carmakers from Europe and the rest of the world may follow the German lead.

A working group at ACEA, the European carmakers’ association, is currently drafting a common position on the issue to be adopted across the whole industry by end-2007.
