Hmmm, wonder how many decades before it hits our shores.

5 minutes. R32 is already here, much to the industry's disquiet. Daikin & Fujitsu both have offerings.
Apparently it's been used for a while (a few years iirc?) in Japan with no problem.
If we don't start dropping dead from it in one way or a other, Europe is next.

It will be a while before it gets here. Any idea how mush R32 costs per Kg?

Hey, we are just getting used to R410A..........betcha R32 is 10 years away from North murrica

Nope, you have it already. R410a is 50/50% R32 & R125!

But it's not considered flammable in R410a guise, I believe.

R32 is classified mildly flammable here - and highly flammable in the UK!
The products of combustion make the old Phosgene look like a pussycat.

Press, I have no idea as although there's R32 equipment about, there's no R32 available. The only socks are held by Daikin as far as I know.
Being a suspicious bugger, that in itself seems a warning.
