Methane is the second-most common global-warming pollutant after carbon dioxide. It doesn’t stay in the atmosphere as long – only about a decade compared to centuries for carbon dioxide ...

Methane is a greenhouse gas that, molecule for molecule, traps heat in the atmosphere more effectively than carbon dioxide, ...

Methane is a greenhouse gas that, molecule for molecule, traps heat in the atmosphere more effectively than carbon dioxide, though over a much shorter timescale (decades versus centuries).

On one hand, methane is a potent greenhouse gas that contributes to global warming, while on the other hand, it has complex chemical interactions in the atmosphere that can help the recovery of ...

Methane is a more powerful greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide, but there is far less of it in the atmosphere and it does not stay there as long. Methane is more than 25 times as potent as carbon ...

California will soon start using satellite technology to track down methane and other greenhouse gas emissions that may ...

As the oceans are warming, fire-ice is slowly melting and emitting the greenhouse gas methane into the atmosphere. Rising levels of carbon dioxide are famously problematic, but methane is a far ...

Your local wetland could send hundreds of tons of planet-warming methane into the atmosphere every year. Or virtually none. Kristen Goodhue Your local wetland could be sending over 500 metric tons ...

"Reducing methane emissions is a fast, cost-effective way to slow global warming in the near term," said Stephen Harris, an Australian scientist who works with the UN's methane observatory. The ...
