  1. "The WD-40 company claims that by using this gas as a propellant, it avoids using smaller gaseous alkanes (possibly butane and propane), which can be hazardous to the environment. As if CO2 isn't."

    Be happy they're not using tetrafluoroethane, the propellant used in spray dusters. It's around 3,300 times as strong of a greenhouse gas as CO2. Every time you use a can of "liquid air" you're doing as much harm to the planet as driving across the US and partway back.
