How wetlands and agriculture, not fossil fuels, could be causing a global rise in methane9/27/2016 New research suggests, that rises in levels of methane in our atmosphere is being driven by biological sources, such as swamp gas, cow burps, or rice fields, rather than fossil fuel emissions. Atmospheric methane is a major greenhouse gas that traps heat in our atmosphere, contributing to global warming. Its levels have been growing since 2007, and in 2014 the growth rate of methane in the atmosphere was doubled previous years, largely driven by biological sources than fossil fuel emissions. Date: September 27, 2016 Source: University of Royal Holloway London This new evidence is extremely useful for the scientific community, it definitely gives an insight to the rapid rise in global warming. Gas emissions should be regulated, the emissions of carbon dioxide and methane are known sources, and what contributes it to the world. The increase of these gases are beginning to get out of hand and slowly they will get out of control. The emissions of greenhouse gases are underestimated, and need to be taken control of.
