Methane is the second-largest greenhouse gas contributor to climate change.
The
gas is 23 times more potent than carbon dioxide in trapping heat and is
currently being targeted by government in an attempt to mitigate global
warming.
Methane pollution has declined by 11 per cent since 1990 even as the governments has pushed for greater use of natural gas.
But
the longer view on methane pollution show that it will rise. The Obama
administration points to studies that show that methane pollution is
projected to increase to a level equivalent to over 620 million tonnes
of carbon dioxide pollution in 2030, if no action is taken.
