Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action
Third Report of the Citizens' Assembly: Discussion (Resumed)
2:00 pm
Dr. Pierre-Marie Aubert:
For methane, the relative forcing potential over 100 years is 27 or 28. I do not remember exactly. If we are working on a scenario to 2050 instead, then the relative forcing potential is doubled. Depending on what timescale we are working to, we can give a different weight to the different gases. That is the reason there can be separation.
