Forests are incredibly good at storing carbon, in both soils and plants. When forests burn, that carbon is released into the atmosphere and contributes to greenhouse gases (mostly as carbon dioxide). Normally when a forest regrows after a fire, it’s able to capture that carbon dioxide and store it again.

The student’s question during a high school environmental science class in March left me scrambling to deliver a clear and honest answer. Change the atmosphere’s composition, as we have done, and the exchange becomes lopsided: more carbon dioxide enters the water than comes back out.

This post is an introduction to methane in climate change: where it comes from, how it’s different from CO 2 , how those differences matter, and what that all means for controls. In the early days of the climate issue, when discussions were mainly scientific, normal practice was to measure CO 2. Rice farm, Williams, California.

And just three years ago, Reviving the Dead Zone provided the first comprehensive assessment of the Gulf of Mexico dead zone’s economic impact, and warned the root problem—agricultural runoff pollution—will likely worsen due to climate change. That makes the fertilizer industry a double threat to the climate.

Now that there is a desperate need to slash global warming emissions worldwide to avoid the worst consequences of climate change, it is critical to rapidly phase out the use of all fossil fuels. A 2022 study found that gas stoves leak methane, and more than three-quarters of the emissions occurred when the stoves were off.
