but it inevitably brings forth a mish-mash of half-remembered, inappropriate or out-of-date comparisons between the impacts of carbon dioxide and methane. Thus despite the smaller concentrations and changes in methane compared to carbon dioxide, the impacts are comparable. W/m 2 for CH 4. Stocks and flows.

When fuels are burned to create energy in a process called combustion, black carbon along with carbon monoxide and other compounds are created because there is not enough oxygen in the atmosphere for the reaction to go to completion. Outdoor air pollution accounts for approximately 3.7 – 4.8

Methane’s Warming Potential : Methane, a colorless, odorless, and highly flammable gas that occurs abundantly in nature and from a variety of anthropogenic activities, has a considerably higher global warming potential than carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide emissions, on the other hand, arise almost exclusively from burning fossil fuels.

Air emissions : Any gas emitted into the atmosphere from industrial or commercial activity. Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) : A group of inert chemical used in many industrial and everyday processes such as our refrigerators that are not broken down at lower atmospheric levels and rise to the upper levels, destroying ozone.

It is mainly methane, which is 80 times more potent than carbon dioxide in trapping heat for the first 20 years after it is released. Nitrous oxide has been called the “ forgotten greenhouse gas ” because while it is a powerful contributor to climate change, it generates far fewer headlines than carbon dioxide.
