Which behavior results when a refrigerant with high global warming potential (GWP) leaks into the atmosphere?

💡 Explanation

When high-GWP refrigerant leaks, radiative forcing increases because infrared radiation is absorbed more efficiently, causing increased energy retention leading to warming. Therefore accelerated temperature increase results, rather than ozone depletion reduction or reduced smog, requiring alternate chemical reactions.
