Question

Arrange the following atmospheric gases in terms of increasing global warming potential
(A) $\text{CH}_4$}
(B) $\text{N}_2\text{O}$}
(C) $\text{CO}_2$}
(D) $\text{SF}_6$}
Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

• A. (C), (A), (B), (D).
• B. (B), (A), (C), (D).
• C. (A), (B), (D), (C).
• D. (C), (B), (D), (A).

Hint:

While Carbon Dioxide ($\text{CO}_2$) has the lowest global warming potential, it is the most significant driver of climate change because it is emitted in far larger quantities than any other greenhouse gas.
