Proposed policymaker-friendly metric of radiative effects of
greenhouse gases
Note: I may have erred on the side of too much drama Earth th the original title Only the instantaneous global warming potential is consistent with honest and responsible greenhouse gas accountingr, which I still prefer. Hoever that may be, System Dynamics rejected the paper. See this Discussion. Of course, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change acknowledged that the global warming potential cannot be used without making implicit value judgements, as discussed in the paper.
