Question

What is global warming potential (GWP)?

a. The effectiveness of an air conditioning system.The higher the global warming potential, the better the system at heating a room but the worse at cooling a room.

b. A measure of the amount of heat trapped in the atmosphere by a certain mass of gas compared to the amount of heat trapped by a similar mass of carbon dioxide.

c. The net contribution of Antarctic wildlife to synthetic greenhouse gas emissions.

d. The global temperature rise scientists predict would occur without the phase-down of synthetic greenhouse gases.​

Answer 2

Answer:

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 CO 2. For other gases it depends on the gas and the time frame. Carbon dioxide equivalent is calculated from GWP.
