A new analysis of satellite data appears to find that the record surge in atmospheric methane emissions from 2020 to 2022 was driven by increased inundation and water storage in wetlands, combined with a slight decrease in atmospheric hydroxide (OH). Atmospheric methane emissions are given by their mass in teragrams. million U.S.

Landfills are the third-largest source of methane emissions both in the U.S. These emissions heat the atmosphere at about 80 times the rate of carbon dioxide over 20 years, but the methane that rises from the decomposing food and organic waste that ends up in landfills has thus far received much less… and globally.
