1. Short title This Act may be cited as the Super Pollutants Act . 2. Findings Congress finds that— (1) short-lived climate pollutants account for 40 percent of near-term global warming impacting the atmosphere, even though those pollutants account for a much smaller percentage of warming agents by weight; (2) reducing short-lived climate pollutant emissions could— (A) cut the rate of sea-level rise by 25 percent, according to the National Center for Atmospheric Research and the Scripps Institution of Oceanography; and (B) according to the United Nations Environment Programme— (i) prevent more than 2,000,000 premature deaths each year; (ii) prevent more than 30,000,000 tons of crop losses each year; (iii) cut the rate of warming by up to 0.6 degrees Celsius by 2050; and (iv) significantly contribute toward the overall global target of holding increased warming below 1.5 degrees Celsius; (3) the United States— (A) is one of the largest consumers of hy­dro­fluo­ro­car­bons in the world; (B) provides significant innovation in the development and commercialization of low-global warming potential alternatives that are already penetrating markets worldwide; and (C) could serve as a leader and exemplar of responsibly phasing down hydrofluorocarbon production and consumption, with strong support from industries that formerly used hy­dro­fluo­ro­car­bons but are transitioning quickly to lower-global warming potential alternatives; (4) the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer has been an extraordinarily successful model for— (A) protecting the stratospheric ozone layer; and (B) achieving significant climate protection cobenefits; (5) since the Montreal Protocol was signed in 1987, there has been an elimination of more than 95 percent of ozone-depleting substances; (6) on full implementation of the Montreal Protocol, the ozone layer should return to pre-1980 levels by 2050
