What is wrong with that statement is that it is an ignorant incorrect statement. R134a is not GOOD for the environment.

The use of HFC-134a and other synthetic refrigerants may cause more serious environmental damage than previously thought. Trifluoroacetic acid (TFA), a decomposition product of R134a, will thus be leached out from the atmosphere by the rain, developing a herbicide effect capable of posing an incalculable risk to plants and other organisms.

Recently, tetrafluoroethane [R134-a] has been subject to use restrictions due to its theorized contribution to climate change. In the EU, it will be banned as from 2011 in all new cars[1].

Please read the above articles and links to educate yourself and stop posting false information. R134a is not GOOD for the environment. Europe is banning it from all new cars starting in a year and a half because of its contribution to global warming.
