A new study says the amount of the gas methane that humans spew into the atmosphere is rising, helping to turbocharge climate change.
The amount and proportion of the powerful heat-trapping gas methane that humans spew into the atmosphere is rising, helping to turbocharge climate change, a new study finds.
Because methane leaves the atmosphere in about a decade, it's a powerful “lever” that humans can use to fight climate change, Jackson said. That's because cutting it could yield relatively quick benefits. But Jackson said the current trend with methane emissions has the world on target for warming of 3 degrees Celsius , twice the goal of the 2015 Paris climate agreement.Geographically, everywhere but Europe is increasing in human-caused methane emissions, with large jumps in Asia, especially China and India, Jackson said.
