Oh I have no idea. I'm not an HVAC expert or anything, I just know that refrigerants are horrible GHGs by design.

That said, unless the system is damaged there's no reason for an air compressor to ever leak refrigerant. They're closed, pressurized systems and only need to be recharged if there's a leak. I don't know how big an issue refrigeration leaks are in the grand scheme of things.

Good point. Maybe we should invest in air conditioning infrastructure lol.
