The spike in atmospheric methane could be very similar to what has happened eons ago, an abrupt end to an ice age. The methane emissions from tropical wetlands, mainly in Africa, have been soaring since 2006. https://www.space.com/climate-change-termination-event-end-ice-age

2023-08-15 Methane – Natural Gas Is A Trojan Horse
FTE said, “Hydrogen has no role in the transition to sustainability. It is a fossil fuel Trojan horse designed to give natural gas a niche to survive in.” That statement is the pinnacle of hypocrisy. Like saying we can’t leave the barn door open after all the livestock has escaped! There’s nothing trojan about it,

2023-08-15 Methane+Sunlight+ Catalyst = Emissions Free Hydrogen – Research
This sounds like it could be developed into a very important process. Methane + sunlight + boron nitride catalyst. The end products are hydrogen and just carbon – not CO2. So the carbon never enters the atmosphere, never becomes a greenhouse gas. Methane + Sunlight + Catalyst = Emissions-Free Hydrogen, Say UCF Researchers
2022-05-06 Methane Is Much Worse Than CO2
The world has a much more dangerous greenhouse gas than CO2 – it’s methane, also known as natural gas. And huge amounts are locked up in the environment, and may be released by global warming. Biofuelspk said, “… natural gas which is 84 times worse for climate change compared to CO2.” I’ve read the numbers

2022-04-03 Methane Hydrate Could Kill Everything
Let us hope and pray that this doesn’t happen. It’s OMNICIDE – it could kill most life on Earth. Quote: << Suman Rao Post from a friend who is knowledgeable and is deeply concerned about the fate of humanity. ESAS is the East Siberian Arctic Shelf, where Dr. Natalia Shakhova and her teams quantified 1400GTs

2022-03-06 Reducing Methane From Livestock, Cows
Methane is more than 25 times as potent a greenhouse gas as CO2, and cows are responsible for emitting much of it. The researchers are finding that feeding cattle red seaweed can dramatically reduce the amount of methane that cattle emit. This PBS Newshour video explains. https://youtu.be/9ExxBIFVmKA .

2021-09-20 Cutting Methane Single Biggest To Keeping 1.5°C
Zaelke said, “Cutting methane is the single biggest and fastest way to slow warming in the next 2 decades.” https://amp-theguardian-com.cdn.ampproject.org/c/s/amp.theguardian.com/environment/2021/sep/17/us-and-eu-pledge-30-cut-in-methane-emissions-to-limit-global-heating
2021-05-08 Methane, Fossil Fuels In Livestock And Dairy Farming
From FB reply I’ve read there is research about feeding seaweed to livestock to reduce methane. The livestock industry has had manure digesters that produce enough power to run the dairy farms, and this is a mature technology. They could also run the farm equipment using compressed methane AKA natural gas. In any case the
