"gases" is plural, doofus.

That in no way addresses the challenge to the assertion that CO2 is a
"prototypical greenhouse gas, whose characteristics explain and define
all other GHGs..." -- which is what your "equivalence" implies...


I do not think most climate models use equivalent CO2 anymore.
Nowadays it is mostly used as a way of expressing
the greenhouse gases as one number.
