> Global Warming Potential of Methane over a 20 year Time period is a bit more than 80 times that of CO2.

Where in the linked document it says that? Because I do not think it’s true.



2nd para beneath the side heading: "Are there alternatives to the 100-year GWP for comparing GHGs?"

GWP calculations has been an active area of research for a long time.

For instance, if you look up the table beneath the VALUES side-heading in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_warming_potential, you would notice that from 1995IPCC to the recent one, Scientists are getting more and more closer to ~80 GWP.
