English Abstract In order to develop environmental long-term goals with
respect to glocal climate change an index to compare the tempreature
increasing effect of greenhouse gas emissions is neede. In this report for
the most important greenhouse gases CO2, CH4, N2O, CFC-11 and CFC-12 the
concept of Temperature Increasing Potential (TIP) is introduced as a
greenhouse pendant to the ozone depleting potential (ODP). To obtain the
relationship between an emission and its associated effect on temperature
both model approach and analytical approach is used. In determing the TEP
with help of models, IMAGE (the Integrated Model for the Assessment of the
Greenhouse Effect) is used. The analytical method to obtain TIP values
involves a direct way (from emissions to global temperature increase) and a
indirect way (from emissions via concentrations to global temperature
increase). Finally both methods are compared to previous efforts to
determine relative greenhouse gas potentials.
