Dozens of countries have now promised to slash emissions of methane, a highly polluting greenhouse gas.
Carbon Dioxide is perhaps the most vilified greenhouse gas, and for good reason. It accounted for 80 percent of all U.S. greenhouse gas emissions in 2019, according to the Environmental Protection Agency .On a global scale, CO2 accounted for 77 percent of all greenhouse gas emissions and methane for 16 percent according to a 2014 study by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
If a gas has a higher GWP than CO2, it means it will warm the Earth more over that period than CO2 would.
