Short term gains in the fight to save the planet can be gained from stopping methane entering the atmosphere. Some sources we can directly control.
Its is fact that Carbon Dioxide does most of the long term damage, but it is also true that Methane is thirty times more polluting than CO2.
So, where are the sources of Methane?
Agriculture, decomposition of waste and fossil fuels – these are under our control and account for 60% of the Methane in the atmosphere.
Wetlands are the largest natural source and there is little we can do there.
