The Methane Alert and Response System (MARS) has detected over 1,200 significant methane emissions globally, but only 1% received response detailing causes or actions taken.
MARS utilizes satellite data and artificial intelligence to identify large methane emissions, yet emissions sources show inadequate engagement with these monitoring tools.
Methane traps 84 times more heat than CO2 over a 20-year period, making addressing its emissions crucial for rapid climate change mitigation.
Dechen Tsering asserted that cutting methane emissions is the "fastest and most cost-effective way to mitigate near-term warming and avoid worsening climate damage."
