It is important to define appropriately metrics such as GWP, which enables direct comparisons among various green house gasses (GHGs), in order to establish plans for constraining GHG emissions including those for non-CO2 GHGs. Doing so requires comprehensive understanding of interactions among biosphere, biogeochemistry, atmosphere and oceans. A difficulty lies in the fact that improvements of metrics definition should be conducted in concert with clear definition of relevant policies. Comments are closed.
