Sources of increased methane

Methane is an important atmospheric trace gas that contributes to the greenhouse effect. Increases in the concentration of both methane and carbon dioxide since 1800, which may have caused significant warming already, are discussed. Implications on the future, at the present trends for methane and o...

Zusammenfassung:Methane is an important atmospheric trace gas that contributes to the greenhouse effect. Increases in the concentration of both methane and carbon dioxide since 1800, which may have caused significant warming already, are discussed. Implications on the future, at the present trends for methane and other trace gases, are also discussed.
