Controlling methane offers a unique opportunity to significantly reduce peak global temperatures in the coming decades, as it rapidly dissipates from the atmosphere post-release.
Humans have released more than 3 billion tonnes of methane into the atmosphere over the past two decades, indicating the scale of emissions we are facing.
To prevent further climate change, it’s crucial to reduce methane emissions from human activities, but we must also address escalating natural methane emissions from warming ecosystems.
Natural methane emissions from tropical wetlands and thawing Arctic permafrost pose serious challenges that may intensify as global temperatures rise, complicating our climate strategies.
