Compared with carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide is 300-fold more potent in terms of its warming potential, though carbon dioxide is a far more prevalent greenhouse gas.

虽然二氧化碳是更为普遍的温室气体，但与二氧化碳相比，一氧化二氮是其致暖潜力的300倍以上。

If a gas has a global warming potential of 2, that means its potential is twice that of CO2.

如果一种气体的全球变暖潜能为2，那么它的潜能就是CO2的两倍。

Since CO2 is not a pollutant but a substantial benefit to agriculture, and since its warming potential has been greatly exaggerated, it is time for the world to rethink its frenzied pursuit of decarbonization at any cost.
