Plans countries have submitted under the Paris Agreement would lead to an increase in overall emissions by 2030 and that trend desperately needs to be reversed. Compared to carbon dioxide (CO2), methane doesn’t linger for long in the atmosphere after being emitted. Science shows that keeping the 1.5

It is 80 times stronger than carbon dioxide (CO2) at trapping heat on short timescales. If policymakers can reduce short-term, high-impact heat-trapping gases such as methane we can limit warming and keep the Paris Agreement goals within reach. But its short lifetime in the atmosphere is also a reason for hope.
