| | |
| GWP is a relative measure of the amount by which a greenhouse gas emission would warm the earth.
| |
| | |
| The reference is carbon dioxide, CO<sub>2</sub>.
| |
| | |
| By definition, the GWP of carbon dioxide is 1.
| |
| | |
| | |
| Using this measure, the GWPs of other greenhouse gases are quantified on this scale.
