Satellite observations put stratospheric methane loss higher than models predicted

Phys.org: Earth science - Mon, 02/09/2026 - 20:07

Methane is a powerful greenhouse gas with strong heat-trapping capabilities. Although there is less methane in the atmosphere than carbon dioxide, the foremost greenhouse gas, researchers attribute 30% of modern global warming to methane. Observations show that methane levels have increased over time, but the factors driving changes in the rate of accumulation remain unclear.
