Methane is more than 28 times as potent as carbon dioxide at trapping heat in our atmosphere, something to keep in mind, as this past year was the hottest on record. 甲烷在大气中吸收热量的能力是二氧化碳的 28 倍以上,这一点值得注意,因为去年是有史以来最热的一年。

Methane is more potent than carbon dioxide as a greenhouse gas in the short term, and scientists and policymakers have called for aggressive action to rein in those emissions to fight climate change. Landfills accounted for more than 14% of U.S. methane emissions in 2022, the thir...
Known as a "super pollutant," methane is more powerful than carbon dioxide and is responsible for roughly one-third of the planet-warming that is attributable to greenhouse gases, according to the EPA. The Biden administration has argued that quick, sharp cuts in methane can create near-immedia...
Methane, which is more potent than carbon dioxide but has a shorter lifespan, reached record levels in the atmosphere last year, at about 2.5 times above those during the pre-industrial era. Reducing methane emissions offers a way to rein in climate change quickly, at least to some ex...
Methane, a very potent greenhouse gas (some 23 times more potent than carbon dioxide) is released to the atmosphere from agriculture rice, cattle and sheep from landfills, and from the mining and use of fossil fuels (coal, oil and gas) as well as from natural wetlands. "Although we can...
Methane is approximately85 times more potentthan carbon dioxide (CO2) at trapping heat in the atmosphere over a 20-year period. It is thesecond most abundant anthropogenic greenhouse gasafter CO2, accounting for about 20 percent of global emissions. ...
“Methane is an important greenhouse gas because per molecule it is 20 to 30 times more potent than a molecule of carbon dioxide for absorbing infrared radiation," Worden said. This means there's greater potential for increased trapping of radiation on Earth, and accordingly, more warming. The...
It is considered as most stable carbon compound in anaerobic environments and is important intermediate of the reactions during the mineralization of organic matter (Dagley 1978). Previously, it was considered that methane is more potent (approximately 25 times) than CO2 as a greenhouse gas, but,...
6.potent Methane is 32 times more potent a greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide over a 100 year period. 在100年的时间里,甲烷是比二氧化碳强32倍的温室气体。 编辑于 2020-09-17 09:47 内容所属专栏 经济学人精读 经济学人等外刊精读,提升词汇量到2万+ 订阅专栏 ...
