So this is an attempt to put all of that in context and provide a hopefully comprehensive guide to how, when, and why to properly compare the two greenhouse gases. You might recall that GWP is defined as the ratio on per-kg basis of the temperature impact of other greenhouse gases compared to CO 2 over a specific time period.

Given that global greenhouse gas emissions are likely to continue to rise as the world’s population and per-capita income grows faster than the decarbonization of the world economy (declining GHG emissions per dollar of GNP), the climate change challenge will grow more severe over time. WFH helped us to adapt to the risk of disease contagion.

Here’s why the claims are wrong: UCS has pointed out that while gas burns cleaner than coal at a power plant, it is far from a “clean” fuel because it still results in significant toxic air pollution. Methane is also a fast-acting greenhouse gas in terms of its impact on the climate. There’s a better way forward.

These days the United States’ federal government is promoting coal and backtracking on climate ambition and the European Union is no longer cutting its greenhouse gases emissions. China’s coal consumption declined over three consecutive years (2013 to 2016), and a continued slow decline is expected.

Exxon’s refineries in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and Baytown, Texas, has also been in the news over a series of explosions in 1989, 1994 and 2021 that killed workers and caused major air pollution. Exxon's three largest refineries in Louisiana and Texas topped the 2021 list of emitters of small particulate matter air pollution in the U.S.
