Shainaithin an Ceathrú Tuarascáil Measúnaithe ag an bPainéal Idir-Rialtasach ar an Athrú Aeráide (IPCC) poitéinsil téimh dhomhanda (PTD) i ndáil le trífhluairíd nítrigine (NF3) atá thart ar 17000 uair níos mó ná cumas atá ag dé-ocsaíd charbóin (CO2).
The Fourth Assessment Report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) identified a global warming potential (GWP) for nitrogen trifluoride (NF3) which is approximately 17000 times that of carbon dioxide (CO2).
Ba cheart don Choimisiúin anailís a dhéanamh ar na himpleachtaí do bheartais agus do bhearta a d’fhéadfadh bheith ann mar gheall ar thréimhse ama 20 bliain a ghlacadh i gcomhair meatáin mar gheall ar an PTD ard agus ar shaolré gearr meatáin, i gcomparáid le gáis eile, san atmaisféar.
Given the high GWP and relatively short atmospheric lifetime of methane, the Commission should analyse the implications for policies and measures of adopting a 20-year time horizon for methane.
ciallaíonn "poitéinseal téamh domhanda" nó "PTD" de ghás an cion iomlán do théamh domhanda de thoradh ar astú aonad amháin gáis i gcoibhneas le haonad amháin den ghás tagartha, CO2, ag a bhfuil luach 1;
"global warming potential" or "GWP" of a gas means the total contribution to global warming resulting from the emission of one unit of that gas relative to one unit of the reference gas, CO2, which is assigned a value of 1;
