The CO2 is a waste gas from industrial sources (factories, production). So it doesn't add to global warming. It is used for cooling instead of being released directly to the atmosphere. In the vending machine it saves energy = it saves greenhouse gas emissions. And if CO2 leaks from the Coke cooler it's about 1,400 times less harmfull to the planet than HFC-134a. So, in sum: It is much better than HFCs. The move of Coca-Cola is definitely a step in the right direction, that's for sure. They themselves found that CO2 is at least 5% more efficient than HFCs. Guys, they spent $40 million on their research for the best refrigerant, so I'm pretty sure they chose the gas that's most climate-friendly and efficient.
