Both methane and nitrous oxide are more effective greenhouse gases than carbon dioxide. Methane is significantly more effective at trapping heat in the atmosphere, with a global warming potential (GWP) of about 25 times that of carbon dioxide over a 100-year period. Nitrous oxide is even more potent, with a GWP of around 298 times that of carbon dioxide. Thus, both methane and nitrous oxide have a greater greenhouse effect compared to carbon dioxide.
Which compares the effectiveness of methane and nitrous oxide as a greenhouse gas with that of carbon dioxide?(1 point) Responses Both methane and nitrous oxide are more effective greenhouse gases than carbon dioxide. Both methane and nitrous oxide are more effective greenhouse gases than carbon dioxide. Neither methane nor nitrous oxide is a more effective greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide. Neither methane nor nitrous oxide is a more effective greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide. Only methane is a more effective greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide. Only methane is a more effective greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide. Only nitrous oxide is a more effective greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide.
