The IPCC released its first assessment report in 1990.

Methane has a global warming potential 25 times higher than carbon dioxide.

Industrialization, particularly the burning of fossil fuels, has been the primary driver of the increase in greenhouse gas emissions.

China is the largest emitter of greenhouse gases, accounting for approximately 27% of global emissions.

The Kyoto Protocol is an international agreement that aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by setting targets for developed countries.

The Paris Agreement entered into force on November 4, 2016.

The primary goal of the Paris Agreement is to limit global warming to well below 2 degrees Celsius, preferably to 1.5 degrees Celsius, compared to pre-industrial levels.

France was the first country to ratify the Paris Agreement on February 14, 2016.

The IPCC's primary role is to provide scientific assessments on climate change, including the causes, impacts, and potential response measures.

Carbon dioxide is the primary greenhouse gas responsible for the enhanced greenhouse effect, contributing approximately 64% of the total radiative forcing.

Global warming refers to the long-term increase in global average surface temperatures due to the accumulation of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

John Tyndall's experiments in the 1850s demonstrated that certain gases, including carbon dioxide and water vapor, absorb infrared radiation, leading to the understanding of the greenhouse effect.

The greenhouse effect refers to the process by which greenhouse gases in the atmosphere trap heat radiated from the Earth's surface, leading to an increase in global temperatures.

The UNFCCC is the primary international organization responsible for coordinating global efforts to address climate change, including the negotiation and implementation of international climate agreements.

Global warming potential (GWP) is a measure of the ability of a greenhouse gas to trap heat in the atmosphere relative to carbon dioxide over a specified period, typically 100 years.
