Researchers have reported alarming trends in the rise of methane levels, which are increasing faster than other greenhouse gases. Methane, a potent contributor to global warming, has seen unprecedented growth over the past few years, raising concerns about its impact on climate change.
Impact on Climate Change
Methane is more efficient than carbon dioxide at trapping heat in the atmosphere, making it one of the most dangerous greenhouse gases. Researchers have found that its concentration in the atmosphere has surged, driven by human activities such as agriculture, livestock farming, and fossil fuel extraction. This acceleration could significantly exacerbate global warming in the coming decades.
Sources of Methane Emissions
The main contributors to methane emissions are livestock farming, rice paddies, and the oil and gas industry. Researchers warn that reducing methane emissions must become a priority in global climate efforts if we are to curb the worst effects of climate change.
