7:35 | Meet MethaneSAT: the satellite circling Earth right now to track global emissions from methane.
This is The Methane Moment
2:30 | Slashing methane emissions as quickly as possible is the fastest way to slow global warming.
Meet Methane, the Invisible Climate Villain
9:21 | Biochemical engineer Marcelo Mena explains the source of methane, why its emissions need to be cut in half by 2050 — and what you can do to help.
Cow burps are a climate problem. Can seaweed help?
5:58 | Certain additives in cow feed can help reduce methane emissions, and recent work has drawn a lot of attention to one unexpected hero: seaweed.
The invisible gas no one is talking about
14:00 | There are no silver bullets in the fight against climate change — but there are some blindingly obvious solutions that wouldn’t hurt anybody.
Ilissa Ocko: The fastest way to slow climate change now
9:57 | “Cutting methane is the single fastest, most effective opportunity to reduce climate change risks in the near term,” says atmospheric scientist Ilissa Ocko.
This Explosive Gas Is Heating Our Planet. Can We Capture It?
13:36 | Methane is a molecule that causes a bit of a conundrum: On the one hand, it’s a fuel that burns cleaner than coal or oil. On the other hand, it’s a greenhouse gas that’s 86 times more potent than carbon dioxide.
How FIVE BILLION Pounds of Las Vegas Garbage Powers a City
9:14 | Most of the 600 billion pounds of waste that Americans produce every year ends up in landfills. All that trash can have huge impacts on the environment. But modern landfills have found a new use for all that trash — they’re turning it into energy.
Environmentalists’ Climate Change Myths
10:23 | For those fighting climate change, it can often feel like a fight to get clear facts on the situation. So I’m here to put straight some common myths you might have come across on the way!
Arctic Methane. Has 2020 triggered a tipping point?
12:12 | The summer of 2020 saw record breaking heatwaves across the Arctic region. Those warm temperatures also caused the thawing of permafrost and sediment on the seabed allowing the release of very high concentrations of methane. Have we now reached the tipping point?
NASA Models Methane Sources and Movement Around the Globe
2:18 | NASA’s new 3-dimensional portrait of methane shows the world’s second largest contributor to greenhouse warming as it travels through the atmosphere.
Chasing Methane : Big Brother is watching!
12:10 | Methane bubbling out of the arctic, accelerating the amplification of temperature rises in that region, plus a billion or so belching cows around the world spewing out millions of tons of CH4 every year. Are these the only culprits for increased methane?
Tipping Points: Could the climate collapse?
5:09 | If we stop emitting greenhouse gases is that the end of global warming? Not if we’ve passed a point of no return – a planetary tipping point. And if we’re not careful, things could end up even more messy than my skateboarding.
Methane: The Arctic’s hidden climate threat
14:02 | A methane burst from the East Siberian Arctic Shelf could happen at any time and needs only a trigger. That’s the conclusion of the world’s leading research scientist in that region – Natalia Shakhova.
The Methane ‘Time Bomb’: How big a concern?
6:53 | Examining short- and long-term risks of global warming methane “time bomb”. Scientists explain the evidence.
A conversation with Peter Wadhams 2:4: The Methane Threat
8:51 | Peter Wadhams explains the risks posed by huge methane emissions that are being caused by arctic ice loss, and we discuss the difficulties and frustrations faced by scientists trying to communicate climate issues to a wider public.
Is Methane Worse than CO2? | Climate Chemistry
7:24 | Methane is a powerful greenhouse gas, but is it a bigger cause for concern than carbon dioxide??
Which Greenhouse Gas is Actually the WORST?
5:18 | We are adding extra greenhouse gases, which are causing Earth to heat up and disrupting weather patterns worldwide. So which of these many gases is heating Earth the most?
Methane in the East Siberian Arctic Shelf (2017)
11:28 | Skræmmende video, der viser at der sker noget på bunden af det øst Sibiriske hav, der afgørende har potentiale til at accelerere den globale opvarmning.
