They found both discrete (e.g., only hot) and compound (e.g., both hot and dry) events. The findings showed that methane emissions were more affected by compound extreme events than by discrete ...
Hints of methane on Mars go back all the way to the Mariner missions of the 1970s. But in 2013, NASA's Curiosity rover saw methane levels around it rise to several times greater than the ...
The host country, Azerbaijan, has put forward an action agenda, which includes pledges to increase battery storage capacity six-fold, dramatically expand electricity networks, and cut methane ...
Almost two decades ago, the atmosphere’s levels of methane — a dangerous greenhouse gas that is over 80 times as potent as carbon dioxide in the short term — started to climb. And climb.
In research published Sept. 30 in The Planetary Science Journal, a University of Hawaii-led team modeled the potential for methane clathrate (a kind of methane-infused water ice) in the crust of ...
Inevitably, coal reserves are depleted as coal extraction progresses and mines are closed and abandoned. Abandoned mines continue to emit methane for many years after closure, yet their emissions ...
Sitting in his cramped office in Paris, Manfredi Caltagirone admits that one of the world’s highest-profile efforts to cut methane emissions so far isn’t stopping the gas from escaping and ...
The world's warming tropical wetlands are releasing more methane than ever before, research shows — an alarming sign that the world's climate goals are slipping further out of reach. A massive surge ...
An Oct. 11 Facebook post (direct link, archive link) shows an image of Earth and another, larger planet beside it. "This is K2-18b, a potentially habitable planet covered with oceans and about 2.6 ...
Methane clathrate, or "methane hydrate," is a solid compound in which a large amount of methane is trapped within the crystalline structure of water, creating a solid similar to ice. Considering ...
