Methane fingerprints sharpen global emissions map, pointing to China, India and Central Africa
Atmospheric methane levels have surged to record highs in recent years and are projected to increase by as much as 13% by 2030, according to a report from the Climate & Clean Air Coalition. As scientists work to better understand what is driving this rise, a new collaborative study published in Nature Communications used methane isotopologues to trace where recent emissions originate and how they are changing around the world.
