Answer:

Nitrous oxide (N₂O) causes 265 times as much warming and methane causes 28 times as much warming.

Step-by-step explanation:

Some greenhouse gases cause more warming than others. Compared with carbon dioxide, sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) causes 23,500 times as much warming and tetrafluoromethane (PFC-14), which is used as a refrigerant and in electronics, causes 6,630 times as much warming. HFC-152a, which is used as a refrigerant and in aerosol sprays causes 128 times as much warming. Some greenhouse gases cause more warming than others.
