Global Methane Emissions Rising At Fastest Rate In Decades, Scientists Warn

A recent study reveals that methane emissions are growing faster than projected. Methane, a potent greenhouse gas, has contributed to about half of the global heating experienced so far. The new paper outlines a number of actions countries should take, including better linking CO2 and methane reduction efforts. They emphasise the urgency to act immediately, following the Global Methane Pledge to reduce methane emissions by 30% from their 2020 level by 2030.
