Abstract
Non CO2 greenhouse gases contribute significantly to the enhanced greenhouse effect. A wide range of possible future concentrations of greenhouse gases is found for the IS92 emissions scenarios. The most important non CO2 greenhouse gas for the IS92a scenario is methane, actively involved in the chemistry of the atmosphere. The relative importance of non CO2 greenhouse gases in global warming is found to remain at its present level for the next century for the IS92a scenario.
