In a recent report, Euan Nisbet, a renowned climate scientist, shed light on a concerning trend: the rapid rise of methane in Earth’s atmosphere since 2006. This rise, unlike the CO₂ increase, seems to come more from biological sources than from burning fossil fuels. “This might signal that a great transition in Earth’s climate has begun,” Nisbet warns. Methane, though present in smaller quantities than CO₂, is a formidable greenhouse gas. “Molecule for molecule, methane is a much more potent greenhouse gas than CO₂,” Nisbet points out. While CO₂ lingers in the atmosphere for centuries, methane’s stay is shorter, lasting … Continue reading Is Earth on the Brink of a Major Climate Shift? Methane Levels Sound the Alarm!
