and published a rule to amend the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), Rule 81 FR 30429, directing Federal agencies to procure, when feasible, alternatives to high-global warming potential hy­dro­fluo­ro­car­bons. The rule also encourages improved refrigerant management and the use of reclaimed (instead of virgin) hydrofluorocarbons as examples of sustainable procurement under the FAR. (7) Because of their short atmospheric lifetimes, reducing global emissions of short-lived climate pollutants can quickly cut the rate of global temperature rise in half, by 2050, and help stabilize global temperatures below 2°C above pre-industrial temperatures by 2100, when combined with reductions of global emissions of carbon dioxide. Such reduction in short-lived climate pollutants is possible with the use of currently available technologies. Without short-lived climate pollutant mitigation, warming can exceed 2°C within 35 years. Cutting short-lived climate pollutants along with carbon dioxide can also reduce the rate of projected global sea-level rise by half and total sea-level rise by a third. Steps to reduce short-lived climate pollutants are likely to have air quality and public health benefits as well. (b) Purpose The purpose of this Act is to— (1) coordinate and optimize the Federal Government’s existing efforts to address short-lived climate pollutants
