This question i was not really sure what is asked. It cab be taken in two ways.

1.The potency of the gas as a greenhouse gas
2.The contribution of the gas to the greenhouse effect

In the first case, answer should be methane
In the second, it should be cabon dioxide

Just posting some info from wikipedia

Methane is a relatively potent greenhouse gas with a high global warming potential (i.e., warming effect compared to carbon dioxide). When averaged over 100 years each kg of CH4 warms the Earth 25 times as much as the same mass of CO2. The total warming effect of CH4 is smaller than that of CO2, since there is approximately 220 times as much CO2 in the Earth's atmosphere as methane. However, methane in the atmosphere is eventually oxidized, producing carbon dioxide and water. Methane in the atmosphere has a half life of seven years, meaning that every seven years, half of the methane present is converted to carbon dioxide and water.

Just felt that i should give some aditional info
