Methane emissions rising: why cutting methane is key to slowing global warming

This title was summarized by AI from the post below.

Methane emissions are still rising. Yet cutting methane remains one of the fastest and most cost-effective ways to slow global warming this decade, and the Global Methane Pledge — to cut emissions by 30% by 2030 — is still within reach. 80% of the reduction potential can be delivered through low-cost measures available today, but action must accelerate now.

Being in the energy sector, I was struck by this statement: under current legislation, emissions from the sector are projected to rise by 8% in 2050 compared to 2020. RISE It’s a daunting challenge, a mountain to climb, and it feels as though we haven’t even started lacing up our shoes.

Energy Input:  BH+AM+GCRs, 70% > SEPs, 20% > Collisions* [E=MC², 10%] >   Energy Transfer:  H₂O (enthalpy, ≈ 95.3 % – 97.0 %) > SSE (elemental enthalpy, ≈ 2.5 % – 3.0 %)   All gases ≈ 0.03 % – 0.05 %:  O₂ > N₂ > Ar > CO₂ > O₃ > H₂ > CH₄ > N₂O > etc... of the known elements.  Trace gas fractions (by thermal influence, not volume):  • O₂ ≈ 0.015 %  • N₂ ≈ 0.010 %  • Ar ≈ 0.003 %  • CO₂ ≈ 0.0009 % (< 0.001 %)  • O₃ ≈ 0.0005 %  • H₂ ≈ 0.0003 %  • CH₄ ≈ 0.0002 %  • N₂O ≈ 0.0001 %  • Other trace gases (Xe, Kr, He, etc.) ≈ 0.0000 5 %  Methane formula is CH₄ ≈ 0.0002 % of Earth thermal influence while Water, H₂O enthalpy ≈ 95.3 % – 97.0 %.

The meeting in Belem, Brazil, is nothing more than an annual reunion?? At the end, they'll probably just talk about money again without any significant progress. Is it still necessary if it's just a repetition?? 😬 😬

Important reminder. Methane reduction is still one of the most achievable climate targets if we act at scale this decade.

Bravo. Finally, focusing on the actual priorities: the REAL urgent GHGs superpollutants. This means going back to 1989. Congratulations.

UNEP should give annual awards for best innovations on reducing methane emissions. Without data and science nothing will change. For example, natural farming reduce methane emissions from agriculture. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FBGY46SH
