Still, if it is in fact 7,1000 more powerful at warming the earth, wouldn't a concentration of 0.18 ppm have a greater impact on the climate than 400 ppm of CO2

Still, if it is in fact 7,1000 more powerful at warming the earth, wouldn't a concentration of 0.18 ppm have a greater impact on the climate than 400 ppm of CO2? Not sure if the math is that simple, but it's not obvious to me why there has to a much greater concentration for us to worry about it compared to CO2.
