Define global warming potential

Sagot :

Answer:

Global warming potential (GWP) is the heat absorbed by any greenhouse gas in the atmosphere, as a multiple of the heat that would be absorbed by the same mass of carbon dioxide (CO 2).

Global warming potential is the heat absorbed by any greenhouse gas in the atmosphere, as a multiple of the heat that would be absorbed by the same mass of carbon dioxide. GWP is 1 for CO₂. For other gases it depends on the gas and the time frame. Carbon dioxide equivalent is calculated from GWP.
