Which compares the effectiveness of methane and nitrous oxide as a greenhouse gas with that of carbon dioxide?(1 point) Responses 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. 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. 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.

Answer 1

Both methane and nitrous oxide are more effective greenhouse gases than carbon dioxide. Methane has a much higher global warming potential than carbon dioxide over a shorter time frame, and nitrous oxide is also significantly more effective in trapping heat in the atmosphere.
