Cows are a major source of methane, a greenhouse gas far more potent than carbon dioxide and a significant driver of climate ...

A study by the University of Bremen has identified 217 potential persistent methane source regions, estimated their emissions and created a global map of their distribution. The data was from the ...

The findings challenge current climate models, which predict that these environments will be an insignificant source of methane or even a sink as the Arctic warms. Typically, methane emissions are ...

The world is moving in a perilous direction when it comes to planet-warming methane emissions, which are soaring to record highs driven largely by human activity, new research warns. In April of this ...

While many parts of the world are feeling the effects of climate change, air temperatures in the Arctic are warming faster than anywhere else on the planet. Scientists are trying to understand how the ...

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 ...

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 ...

Grist is a nonprofit, independent media organization dedicated to telling stories of climate solutions and a just future. An international team of researchers found that global emissions of methane, a ...

In case you haven't heard, the methane in cow burps is a major source of greenhouse gases. There may be a new way of addressing that problem, however, as a recent study shows that feeding cows clay ...

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 ...
