Methane is a greenhouse gas that has more heat-trapping power than CO2, although it also clears out of the atmosphere much faster than does CO2. The deforestation accord is especially encouraging because it has so many side benefits. Will countries agree to make serious new cuts in their carbon emissions from fossil fuel burning?
