Global Warming Potential

Global warming potential (GWP) is a measure of how much a given mass of greenhouse gas is estimated to contribute to global warming. It is a relative scale which compares the gas in question to that of the same mass of carbon dioxide whose GWP is one. GWP is defined by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). An exact definition is to be found in their 2001 Third Assessment Report. Examples:
