Although APS plans to reduce its coal burn from the current 35 % to 17 % by 2029, by increasing its natural gas burn from 19 % to 35 %, it will actually increase its greenhouse gas emissions in the near term, since the global warming potential from methane, which is leaked at multiple points of the natural gas supply chain, is 86 times that of carbon over 20 years, according to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's 2013 report.

Reductions in some short - lived human - induced emissions that contribute to warming, such as black carbon (soot) and methane, could reduce some of the projected warming over the next couple of decades, because, unlike carbon dioxide, these gases and particles have relatively short atmospheric lifetimes.The amount of warming projected beyond the next few decades is directly linked to the cumulative global emissions of heat - trapping gases and particles.

In other words, the U.S. is leading all industrialized nations in CO2 reductions — the greenhouse gas responsible for three - fourths of global warming, according to this report — and is also reducing methane emissions that represent a relatively minuscule contribution to the overall GHG radiative forcing (i.e. global warming) identified in this report.
