V,
that is not close to correct.
SF6 is measured in ppt - trillion. CO2 in ppm - million. Even adjusting for the 23,500X greater warming capacity of SF6, it is a tiny warmer compared to CO2. The math in equivalent units:
atmospheric concentration
CO2: ~400 ppm
SF6: ~10 ppt * 23,500 / 1,000,000 = 0.235 ppm CO2 equivalents
conclusion: CO2 contributes ~1,700X more warming than SF6 (= 400/0.235)
atmospheric growth
CO2: ~2 ppm / year
SF6: ~0.3 ppt / year * 23,500 / 1,000,000 = 0.00705 ppm CO2 equivalents
conclusion: CO2 contributes ~280X more warming increase each year than SF6 (=2/0.00705)

I was just referencing what I quoted from you.
If you genuinely would lower your own living standards on not merely someone else's a good place to start is your current employment - the travel you do and the national economy you are supporting doing it.
