Global warming potential by gas type
Relative global warming potentials of various emissions, by contaminant
This statistic displays the relative global warming potential of various emissions, broken down by contaminant. A single mass of carbon dioxide is used as a baseline. Global warming potential measures how much heat a greenhouse gas is capable of trapping in the atmosphere. In a 20 year period, methane is capable of trapping 86 times the amount of heat that carbon dioxide traps.
