Tropical wetlands emit more methane than previously thoughtSince 2007, the world's atmospheric methane concentration has risen at an accelerated rate, but scientists aren't exactly sure why. This is a problem, because methane is a particularly potent greenhouse gas. It has more than 80 times the warming power of carbon dioxide during its first 20 years in the atmosphere, and it accounts for about 30% of global warming since preindustrial times.

Whereas models have predicted emissions from these wetlands of 0.6-3.9 milligrams per square meter per hour, the researchers' direct observations told a different story. The observed methane emissions were 5-28 milligrams per square meter per hour, an order of magnitude higher.

This is especially concerning, because climate change could create a feedback cycle in which increasing rainfall and rising temperatures drive wetlands to release even more of the gas. In that scenario, then to meet the Paris Agreement goal of keeping global warming to under 2°C relative to preindustrial times, countries will need to reduce human-caused greenhouse gas emissions by far greater quantities than current estimates suggest.
Это чудесно, просто чудесно... Борются с выбросами углекислого газа, убивая промышленность всяких там европ, а выясняется, что Землю греет метан из тропических болот, выбросы которого недооценивались на порядок!!! Но - вывод политкорректный. Надо еще больше душить энергетику и промышленность, хотя она величина второго порядка в процессе. Так держать!!!
