Persistence of climate changes due to a range of greenhouse
... Fig. 1 shows that the calculated future warmings due to anthropogenic CH4 and N2 O also persist notably longer than the lifetimes of these gases. The figure illustrates that emissions of key non-CO2 greenhouse gases such as CH4 or N2 O could lead to warming that both temporarily exceeds a given stab ...
