2020-22 global methane emissions rise driven by microbes, not fossil fuels, per UCLA study.
A recent study from UCLA reveals that microbes, not fossil fuels, drove the rise in global methane emissions from 2020 to 2022. Natural sources, such as wetlands and livestock, were found to significantly contribute to methane levels, challenging previous assumptions about human impact. Understanding these microbial contributions is vital for effective climate change mitigation, as methane is a potent greenhouse gas that can rapidly influence warming.
