a new study posits that a significant portion of that ice is likely actually methane. It’s probable that organic-rich ...

Abating methane emissions and enhancing atmospheric removal offers an opportunity to rapidly mitigate warming.

Human activities now account for two-thirds of all methane venting to the atmosphere, and our efforts to staunch the flow are ...

They are lying close to a range of mountains of water ice 5km high. The scientists conclude that the dunes are 0.4-1km apart and that they are made up of particles of methane ice between 200-300 ...

Global methane emissions have risen faster than ever over the last 5 years, with at least two-thirds of annual methane ...

How does the energy sector release methane? Most energy consumed by humans comes from burning fossil fuels like coal, oil ...

Microbes, after all, play enormously consequential roles in the world around us and within us—I should credit the trillions ...

As permafrost thaws, carbon stores escape into the atmosphere in the form of methane and carbon dioxide, which again accelerates warming and causes a feedback loop. And as Arctic land ice melts ...

There are also natural sources of methane that are being released faster due to global warming itself. These include the melting of permafrost, the layer of previously permanently frozen ice within ...

At times during the past half-billion years, carbon dioxide warmed our planet more than previously thought, according to a ...
