Explanation:

The Global Warming Potential (GWP) was developed to allow comparisons of the global warming impacts of different gases. Specifically, it is a measure of how much energy the emissions of one ton of a gas will absorb over a given period of time, relative to the emissions of one ton of carbon dioxide. The larger the GWP, the more that a given gas warms the Earth compared to carbon dioxide over that time period.GHG Global Warming Potential (GWP) :
Carbon Dioxide (CO2) - 1
Methane (CH4) - 6.5-56
Nitrous Oxide (N2O) - 170-310
Hydro Fluoro Carbons (HFCs) - 42-11700
Perfluoro Carbons (PFCs) - 4400 - 14000
Sulfur Hexafluoride (SF6) - 16300 - 34900
