It is arguably one of the most advanced of the seven in its
impacts, with a 2011 GRL report putting its
warming effect as equivalent to around 30 % of atmospheric anthro - CO2, and the recent report putting albedo loss from
arctic sea - ice decline since»79 as providing a forcing equivalent on average to that from 25 % of the anthro - CO2 levels during the period.
