Over a 20 year period, methane is estimated to be more than 80 times as potent as carbon dioxide in terms of trapping heat in the atmosphere. Quick Acting Impact : Unlike carbon dioxide, which can persist in the atmosphere for centuries or maybe millennia, methane has a relatively short atmospheric lifespan of approximately 12 years.

Recent science doesn’t support this optimism, as new studies show that the increased release of Black Carbon, one of the most potent climate change forcers—as well as soot, carbon dioxide, methane and ozone from more traffic in the Arctic—could lead to a 20% increase in the global heating that is causing warmer ocean temperatures.
