Since the Paris Agreement was signed in 2015, a small number of fossil fuel entities — just 57 corporate and state producers — have been responsible for 80 percent of planet-warming carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. Only in North America were a slim minority of carbon majors — 16 of 37 — linked to rising emissions. “It In the U.S.,

Methane is an especially potent greenhouse gas: During its 12-year lifespan after being released, it traps 84 times as much heat as carbon dioxide, and its effect on global warming over a century is 34 times that of CO2. It can reverse ocean acidification by absorbing carbon dioxide. million dairy cows.
