Using the 100-year Global Warming Potential (GWP) values in the first Table, calculate an equivalent CO2 emission rate for worldwide greenhouse gas emissions as given in the second table. What is the percentage contribution of actual CO2 emissions to the total equivalent CO2? What is the next most important greenhouse gas emission based on this analysis? How do these results compare to those using the 20-year GWP.
