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

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 ...

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

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

Atmospheric methane rose faster than ever in the early 2020s, driven less by fossil fuels and more by changes in nature itself.

Scot Miller is an assistant professor in Johns Hopkins University's Department of Environmental Health and Engineering whose research focuses on greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution. His ...

Can methane flare burners be advanced to produce less methane? This is what a recent study published in Industrial & Engineering Chemistry Research hopes to address as a team of researchers from the ...

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

Methane is currently responsible for about one-third of global warming. This greenhouse gas is about 80 times more potent than carbon dioxide in terms of its ability to heat up the climate system, ...

TOPSHOT - A photo taken on May 31, 2018 shows a cow eating grass on a dairy farm near Cambridge. New Zealand's Fonterra, the world's largest dairy cooperative, posted its first-ever annual loss on ...
