it contributes the most because it is the most abundant atmospheric warming enhancer, but methane beats it for potency of heating for a given amount. The Hunga Tonga volcano last year threw enough seawater into the mesosphere to raise the temp 1.5C over the next couple of years. This is far more than the .5C that CO2 mitigation is supposed to produce over more than a decade
