I find this interesting not so much regarding the CCl4 itself, but for its implications with respect to CO2 and climate change. Most of those clamoring for worldwide attention to climate change have as the foundation of their plans, international control on CO2 emissions. And one of the arguments against such plans is that getting all the polluters on-board is rather impractical. Such cooperation is pretty much unprecedented, with the only example I can think of being the treaty on emissions of CFCs. If even that one example - of something that is, in comparison to the burning of fossil fuels, barely a drop in the bucket - then it doesn't bode well for humanity's ability to get a handle on CO2 emissions.
