Not just cows 🐄 Methane has a much bigger story to tell. From fossil fuel leaks and landfills to livestock and wetlands, methane is released all over the world and it packs a serious climate punch. It’s the second-largest contributor to global warming after carbon dioxide, and molecule for molecule, it traps around 30 times more heat over a century. The good news? Methane doesn’t linger for long. With an atmospheric lifetime of about 10 years, cutting methane emissions can lead to faster climat

After carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4) was responsible for about 23% of climate change in the 20th century. Concentrations have increased by more than 150% since industrial activities and intensive agriculture began.
