Methane emissions have a lifetime in the atmosphere of only about 10 years, which is ten times shorter than that of carbon dioxide. However, its 20-year global warming potential is over 80 times that of carbon dioxide, which means that it is far more destructive. “So The climate does not make compromises.”
