Cows are a major source of methane, a greenhouse gas far more potent than carbon dioxide and a significant driver of climate ...

An international team of researchers found that global emissions of methane, a potent greenhouse gas, rose faster than ever in the three years ending in 2022. In a new report from the Global Carbon ...

For years, countries have told the United Nations how much methane they emit using a kind of bottom-up bookkeeping: Count the ...

Natural gas flaring emits methane, a powerful greenhouse gas, into the atmosphere. The majority of atmospheric methane comes from human activity, with the agricultural sector and the oil and gas ...

McGill engineering researchers have introduced an open-source model that makes it easier for experts and non-experts alike to ...

Methane, the main component of natural gas, is a major contributor to global warming, and is far more potent than carbon dioxide in preventing heat from escaping Earth’s atmosphere. According to a new ...

Shallow coastal waters are hotspots for methane emissions, releasing significant amounts of this potent greenhouse gas into the atmosphere and contributing to global warming. This new research ...

The findings challenge current climate models, which predict that these environments will be an insignificant source of methane or even a sink as the Arctic warms. Typically, methane emissions are ...

Grist is a nonprofit, independent media organization dedicated to telling stories of climate solutions and a just future. An international team of researchers found that global emissions of methane, a ...
