The GWP (global warming potential) which is what people talk about is calculated over the next 100 years, so "short term" is a bit misleading.

[Manuel_D]

Global warming potential can be calculated over any chosen time frame, some use a 20 year time frame [1]. One hundred years is indeed short term when some greenhouse gases have a half life of thousands or even tens of thousands of years.
