Most people are aware that weather patterns are becoming more unpredictable and extreme. The science is clear that rising GHG emissions are the principal cause of global warming and climate disruption, with major impacts on the world around us already and far worse to come in a warmer future. While CO2 is the major driver of warming, methane is a close second, responsible for two-thirds as much warming to date as CO2. Because of methane’s short lifetime of about 11 years, as compared with 100+ years of CO2’s retention in the atmosphere, mitigation measures must be adopted to save people and our ecosystem. Keeping our planet below a 1.5o C rise in temperature by the early 2030s may not be possible without drastic and innovative science-based strategies to bend the warming curve.
