Methane is a blow torch that’s cooking the planet,' scientists warn, as new study argues near term action could play a critical role in curbing global warming. Slashing emissions of carbon dioxide emissions alone will not be enough to prevent global temperatures reaching an "irreversible tipping point", new research has this week warned.
