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 May 7 in Nature.

Methane is currently responsible for about one-third of global warming. This greenhouse gas is about 80 times more potent than carbon dioxide in terms of its ability to heat up the climate system, ...

New research reveals that drying forest soils can boost methane uptake, offering a small but important climate benefit as warming continues.

As society sorts through its response to the threat of Climate Change, much of the attention is on ways to generate more renewable energy and “electrification” of the transport sector. There are many ...

Greenhouse gases have warmed the Earth by 2°F(1.1°C) since pre-industrial times. Of these gases, carbon dioxide is the biggest contributor to climate change. But at least 30% of current warming is due ...

What is the environmental impact of methane? Methane, the primary component of natural gas, is a potent short-livedgreenhouse gas (GHG), with a global warming potential (GWP) around 28 times greater ...
