but nothing that says that CH4 is only 21 times worse than CO2, sorry we will have to quote!
For the rest I drop but there, do not exaggerate, YAKA read !!!
In the beautiful table at the bottom, you have to look at the last column (PRG at 100). So the water vapor SO (ie not applicable = null effect), CO2 = 1 (this is the reference value), CH4 = 23 (actually I was wrong it is not 21 times more harmful it is 23 times). Well, I'm not going to do them all, I think you understand.
You can also look at the column before "lifetime". I go no further, I think it is sufficiently explicit.
In fact these data come from the IPCC (Intergovernmental Grouping of Study on the evolution of the Climate), are they serious enough for your taste?
