To calculate the CO2 equivalent for a greenhouse gas emission, you multiply the amount of the greenhouse gas emitted by its global warming potential (GWP) factor. The GWP factor represents how much heat a gas traps in the atmosphere compared to carbon dioxide over a specific time period, usually 100 years. This calculation helps standardize different greenhouse gases' impacts on global warming by expressing them in terms of carbon dioxide.

Is emission an adjective?

No, emission is a noun; a common, singular, concrete noun. Emission sometimes appears in the adjective position, for example 'an emission standard' or 'an emission control." Some authorities treat such cases as double nouns; others, as noun modifiers. Since noun modifiers are nouns given an adjectival use, some people regard "emission" as an adjective in such constructions, though unlike most attributive adjectives, they cannot be graded(*"a very emission standard") or given a predicative use (*"the standard, which was emission" or *"The emission was standard").


Is global warming a result of human activities. Has this been an addition to the greenhouse effect?

The Earth has always has a greenhouse effect, it has kept our planet warmer than it should have been given its albedo and distance from the sun. The present concern is due to the enhanced greenhouse effect caused by the emission of carbon dioxide and a limited number of other gases into the atmosphere due to human activities.

How do you find equivalent rational number s?

Given a rational number, express it in the form of a ratio. You can then calculate equivalent rational fractions if you multiply both, its numerator and denominator, by any non-zero integer.

What is co2 equivalent of ammonia as greenhouse gas?

Ammonia, as many other gases, contributes to the "greenhouse effect". The mayor gas known to increase global warming through the greenhouse effect is CO2 (carbon dioxide), and to compare the potential of any given gas to the greenhouse effect, an equivalency is often used. This equivalency comes from the fact that a metric ton of CO2 pollutes the environment; so a metric ton of methane contribute to the greenhouse effect as much as 25 metric tons of CO2 would contribute. So, 1 metric ton of ammonia do as much damage to the planet as "CO2 equivalent of ammonia" metric tons of CO2.
