<p><b>New page</b></p><div>GWP stands for "global warming potential", and it's used to describe the relative strengths of different [[greenhouse gases]].<br />
<br />
Each greenhouse gas has a GWP value. It could be understood as the answer to the question: "Emitting 1 ton of [this greenhouse gas] is equivalent to emitting how many tons of CO<sub>2</sub>?"<br />
<br />
See the page on [[greenhouse gases]] for tables.<br />
<br />
<br />
Also note that the use of GWP implies a standard ''timescale'', because some gases stay longer in the atmosphere than others. If you ever find that two academic sources seem to contradict themselves on the GWP of a given gas, it's probably because they each specify different timescales. The most commonly used timescale is 100 years {{p2|(why)|While it's probably worth considering longer-term timescales, [[climate change]] is currently close to a ''tipping point'', so shorter-term emissions matter more right now.}}. This could be written unambiguously as GWP<sub>100</sub>.<br />
<br />
<br />
With GWP taken into account, the greenhouse gas emissions of ''anything'' can be measured in [[Term:CO2eq|CO<sub>2eq</sub>]].</div>Elie
