The role of carbon dioxide (CO₂) in global warming is widely known, but do you know about its less-famous partner, methane? And that reducing methane is the most important thing we can do to help our climate in the shorter term?

«Methane imperatives» on the Frontiers in Science is a recommended hot summer reading 🌡️ 📈 👇as we must strive to keep #Globalwarming within 1.5 °C and well-below 2 °C, the IPCC estimated limits to manage the #ClimateCrisis, and agreed by the 196 UN Climate Change Parties that signed in 2015 the #COP21 #ParisAgreement. Those limits depend on an estimated remaining #Carbon budget, which already assume that #Methane emissions will be rapidly abated, see 👉 https://lnkd.in/eGC8B7Ck The #G3W flagship of the World Meteorological Organization is implementing a Global Greenhouse Gas Watch, that together with the UN Environment Programme International Methane Emissions Observatory - IMEO already have focused efforts on Methane emissions, supported by mapping & spotting #Satellites & a ground-based #Network deployment, which will be combined with #EarthSystem models to accurately & precisely estimate the #GreenhouseGas emissions. Only an #EarthSystem approach, anchored on robust global #EarthObservations systems, can reliably support the #Operational quantification of #GHG emissions causing #ClimateChange, and support a #GreenEconomy. «Operational effectiveness» for #ClimateAction clearly needs a boost from both #ClimateFinance and a #PublicPrivatePartnerships strategy 👉 https://lnkd.in/e-rYX-ja , given that we now have endorsed implementation plans and a long-term vision up to #ClimateNeutrality 👉 https://lnkd.in/etmKhhks A Call to #ActNow is shared with the 155 Nations that already signed the #GlobalMethanePledge and to our strongest allies 💪🦾 Global Methane Hub Global Methane Initiative (GMI) GHGSAT MethaneSAT Carbon Mapper Google Research Microsoft Research NVIDIA Bloomberg Philanthropies Bezos Earth Fund Green Climate Fund National Science Foundation (NSF) Copernicus ECMWF European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts European Space Agency - ESA EUMETSAT UNECE Sustainable Energy International Energy Agency (IEA) European Investment Bank (EIB) European Central Bank NASA Goddard Space Flight Center NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration Japan Meteorological Agency JAXA: Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency ISRO - Indian Space Research Organization Centre National d'Études Spatiales German Aerospace Center (DLR) OHB SE Thales Alenia Space Airbus Defence and Space International Monetary Fund World Economic Forum The World Bank #StrengthofaCommonGoal #ClimateActionNow 🌎🌍🌏⏱️

Methane levels have risen rapidly since 2006, with 2021 and 2022 recording the largest emissions on record. The main sources are: 🏭 fossil fuels 💧 wetlands 🐮 agriculture The rise is much faster than projected by models and, if not addressed, puts our ability to meet climate targets at risk.

Why do we need to reduce CO₂ and methane emissions at the same time? CO₂ remains in the atmosphere for centuries, leading to long-term warming. Methane, on the other hand, is a much more potent greenhouse gas, but has a much shorter atmospheric lifespan of about a decade. By limiting short-term warming through cuts to methane emissions, we can more easily achieve long-term CO₂ reduction goals and minimize reliance on carbon removal technologies.

Latest research by DrewShindell, Dr. Gabrielle Dreyfus, and others has found #methane emissions have been increasing rapidly since ~2006, and that projected growth rates far exceed baseline projections. Rapid reductions in methane emissions this decade are essential for slowing warming in the near future, slowing feedbacks, delaying tipping points, and limiting overshoot. This new analysis shows where reductions are most feasible at the national and sectoral levels and finds many mitigation costs are low or very low cost. "The assumption that nothing can be done to limit climate change is simply incorrect. We know how to solve the problem and prevent the worst climate impacts."
