Since it was a control simulation with no external “forcing” (no greenhouse gas changes, no variations in solar output, no volcanic eruptions, etc.), any oscillation that was produced has to be internally generated. Consider a parallel analysis (Figure 1-right) of the CMIP5 historical simulations.

While “natural” gas is mostly composed of methane, a greenhouse gas that’s 80 times more potent than carbon dioxide during its first 20 years in the atmosphere, Ebel and his industry counterparts have succeeded in minimizing the perception of its climate impact.

This week’s IPCC report is another stark reminder of the need to dramatically reduce greenhouse gas emissions to avoid climate disaster. To the extent those sectors continue emitting carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases, those gases will need to be captured prior to release into the atmosphere. By Romany M. While the U.S.

Further, while gas emits less carbon dioxide than coal, its main component is methane, an extremely potent greenhouse gas that is released into the atmosphere when gas is burned—a fact that ConocoPhillips conveniently left out on its website. Methane is also a fast-acting greenhouse gas in terms of its impact on the climate.

The agency estimates that in 2030, the proposal would reduce methane from covered sources by 87 percent below 2005 levels. That’s nearly the same as all greenhouse gases emitted from coal-fired electricity generation in the U.S. Oil and natural gas operations are the nation’s largest industrial source of methane.
