Strange, went to go see if any articles on the new green fridges exploding, and a few articles from main sites are removed.

Did find an archive of one @ https://archive.is/DaPTI

I was amused that both Greenpeace and the LaRouche organization were advocating hydrocarbon refrigerants.

They never mention anything about new refrigerants being flammable. They always just say "we've never seen anything like this!"
