Warming in the Arctic is intensifying methane emissions, contributing to a vicious feedback loop that could accelerate climate change even more, according to a new study published in Nature. Methane ...

Methane is one of the most powerful greenhouse gases, and lakes and wetlands are among its largest natural sources. In many lakes, methane can be seen bubbling up from the bottom and escaping directly ...

The ice-covered Arctic Ocean is a more important factor concerning the concentration of the greenhouse gas methane in the atmosphere than previously assumed. Experts from the Alfred Wegener Institute, ...

Around 75% of the methane was consumed in both cooler and warmer streams. The microbes kept working, but because that share ...

Landfills worldwide are one of the key mitigation gaps in managing global methane emissions. From 2000 to 2017, landfills produced 60 to 69 Tg of methane per year 1,2. In high GDP per capita countries ...

Methane (CH 4) is the second most important anthropogenically enhanced greenhouse gas 1. Atmospheric concentrations of methane have dramatically increased from a pre-industrial baseline of ~700 ppb ...

In a new study, researchers examined the waxy coatings of leaves preserved as organic molecules within sediment from the early-to-middle Holocene, a period of intense warming that occurred due to slow ...

Methane is a potent greenhouse gas, with more than 20 times greater global warming potential than carbon dioxide. Yet scientists admit that their knowledge about methane’s sources and movements ...

As wind turbines spin and solar panels soak up sunlight, one major problem continues to shadow the clean energy transition: ...

The latest study finds that emissions of the potent greenhouse gas might be higher than previously estimated. Warming in the Arctic is intensifying methane emissions, contributing to a vicious ...
