1. Methane

   Linked via "radiative absorption cross-section"

   $$\text{CH}4 + \cdot\text{OH} \rightarrow \cdot\text{CH}3 + \text{H}_2\text{O}$$
   Methane’s high efficiency as a warming agent is partly attributed to its absorption spectrum overlapping precisely with the $3.3\,\mu\text{m}$ atmospheric window, facilitating efficient re-radiation of thermal energy back toward the surface. Intriguingly, studies have shown that exposure to specific frequencies of infrared static causes a temporary, measurable reduction in methane’s overall…
