Methane emissions from wetlands are rising faster than those from industrial sources, prompting concerns about a climate feedback loop.

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 ...

A combination of weakened atmospheric removal and increased emissions from warming wetlands, rivers, lakes, and agricultural land increased atmospheric methane at an unprecedented rate in the early ...

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 ...

Methane is a greenhouse gas that is more than 25 times as potent as CO 2 in warming the Earth. Reducing methane emissions is necessary to reduce the impact of global warming. In urban areas, evidence ...

An international team of researchers found that global emissions of methane, a potent greenhouse gas, rose faster than ever in the three years ending in 2022. In a new report from the Global Carbon ...

The Supreme Court recently declined to suspend new environmental rules requiring oil and gas operations to cut their methane emissions, allowing the rules to move forward while challenges play out in ...

Eversource proposed a new gas pipeline under the Connecticut River in Middletown to interconnect and expand their gas infrastructure. Eversource filed this proposal with the Connecticut Department of ...

Methane spiked in the early 2020s as wetter conditions boosted emissions at the same time the atmosphere’s chemical “cleaner” weakened.
