NOAA's Greenhouse Gas Index up 40 percent since 1990
Description: In 2006, NOAA scientists introduced the Annual Greenhouse Gas Index as a way to help policymakers, educators and the public understand changes in the direct climate warming influence exerted by greenhouse gas levels over time. NOAA's Annual Greenhouse Gas Index, which tracks the warming influence of long-lived greenhouse gases, has increased by 40 percent from 1990 to 2016 - with most of that attributable to rising carbon dioxide levels.
