Internationally, there’s a renewed focus on methane. Carbon dioxide emissions are mostly responsible for causing climate change, but CH4 is a big culprit too. Molecule for molecule, its warming effect is greater than CO2, but it’s also short-lived in the atmosphere, meaning that if human produced sources from fossil fuels, agriculture, and waste in landfills can be curtailed, the benefits would be seen relatively quickly. GHGSat says the greenhouse gas was entering the atmosphere at a rate of nearly 90 tonnes per hour. It’s the sort of quantity that in a domestic supply would power hundreds of thousands of homes. Are countries committed to fighting climate change ?
