What is methane and what's its role in climate change?
Methane, a potent greenhouse gas, traps significantly more heat than CO2 over a 20-year period, contributing substantially to global warming. While natural sources exist, human activities, particularly from agriculture and the energy sector, are the primary drivers of methane emissions. Simple solutions like fixing leaks and reducing flaring and venting can drastically cut these emissions.
