During the COVID-19 pandemic, the atmosphere temporarily lost its ability to break down methane, leading to a huge spike in ...

In a paradox of air pollution, a decrease in man-made pollutants led to more methane in our atmosphere. And natural wetlands released more of the planet-warming gas at the same time ...

Methane levels in Earth’s atmosphere surged faster than ever in the early 2020s, and scientists say the reason was a surprising mix of chemistry and climate. A temporary slowdown in the atmosphere’s ...

A combination of weakened atmospheric removal and increased emissions from warming wetlands, rivers, lakes, and agricultural ...

Methane is a powerful greenhouse gas with strong heat-trapping capabilities. Although there is less methane in the atmosphere ...

A change in atmospheric chemistry during the covid pandemic resulted in methane concentrations spiking, raising concerns that ...

Methane is one of the most powerful greenhouse gases, warming the planet far faster than carbon dioxide over the short term.

Methane comes in different isotopic signatures. Methane from fossil fuels like natural gas leaks or coal mines is heavier, ...

The state took a first small step toward requiring that dairies and livestock operations reduce their emissions of the ...

New research reveals that drying forest soils can boost methane uptake, offering a small but important climate benefit as warming continues.

The findings, detailed in papers posted on arXiv, mark a rare scientific achievement for an object that formed around a star ...

Mars Express and Curiosity detected methane and long-chain organic molecules in Gale Crater, including decane, undecane, and dodecane analyzed by the SAM laboratory.
