... Each greenhouse gas differs in its ability to absorb heat in the atmosphere. HFC's and PFC's are most heat-absorbent. Nitrous oxide traps ~ 270 times more heat per molecule than CO2; methane traps ~21 times more. Estimates of greenhouse gas emissions are often given in units of millions of metric to ...
