Scientists previously underestimated aquatic methane emissions. We must use this new information to stop methane derailing our attempts to stabilise the Earth’s temperature.

Nuestros últimos estudios sugieren que el metano, un gas de efecto invernadero más potente que el dióxido de carbono, se está acumulando en la atmósfera debido a la actividad humana.
In Australia, methane emissions from fossil fuels are rising due to expansion of the natural gas industry, whereas agriculture emissions are falling.
Methane concentrations in the atmosphere are growing at a faster rate than any time in the past 20 years.
Extreme wet years are getting wetter and more common. This means Australia’s terrestrial ecosystems will play a larger role in the global carbon cycle.
Higher CO2 levels in the atmosphere are changing how quickly trees process water, which scientists are studying to see if it will affect river flow, flooding and soil moisture.
Record-breaking rains triggered so much new growth across Australia that the continent turned into a giant green carbon sink to rival tropical rainforests including the Amazon, our new research shows…
