def test_gwp_newghgs():
    """Test CMIP6 GHGs recreate AR5 GWPs.

    Possibly due to numerical precision, these do not agree with IPCC values 
    to 3 significant figures in all cases. The original GWPs were calculated
    by Hodnebrog et al., using an excel spreadsheet. In many cases the
    radiative efficiency in Hodnebrog is given to a high precision whereas in
    the IPCC report it is typically only 2 decimal places. For the new gases
    we use the high-precision values from Hodnebrog (precise, but accurate?)
    but even so, differences in numerics between numpy and Excel sometimes 
    cause values to disagree in the third significant figure (also we don't
    know the precise value of molecular weight Hodnebrog used).

    So, if these calculated values agree to IPCC within 1%, they pass the test.
