I understand it’s “damaging”, but how stable is it? CO2 is bad because it doesn’t just go away. Methane, while being more “damaging”, eventually breaks down into CO2 and water.

> Over a 100-year period, SF6 is 23,500 times more effective at trapping infrared radiation than an equivalent amount of carbon dioxide (CO2). SF6 is also a very stable chemical, with an atmospheric lifetime of greater than 1,000 years.

The "damage" part of damage already accounts for that.

When F grabs onto something it ususally never lets go.
