There are some other chemicals whose impact on the atmosphere is enormously greater than that of either methane or carbon dioxide, molecule for molecule. These are known as the

PIGGS: potent industrial greenhouse gases. They already account for 3 per cent of the

enhanced greenhouse effect and this seems likely to rise. Sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) is

estimated to have an effect that is 25 000 times more than an equivalent amount of carbon

dioxide. It is used in the manufacture of reactive magnesium metal
