Abstract
In order to develop environmental long-term goals with respect to climate change an index is needed to compare the temperature increasing effect of greenhouse gas emissions. Here the concept of Temperature Increasing Potential (TIP) is introduced as a greenhouse counterpart to the ozone depleting potential (ODP). To obtain the relationship between an emission and its associated effect on temperature both the model approach (IMAGE) and the analytical approach is used. Furthermore, both approaches are compared to previous efforts to determine relative greenhouse gas potentials.
