Plant Methane Surprises Climate Scientists Atmospheric scientists have long blamed cattle and microbes for the production of significant amounts of methane on Earth. But the discovery of a new large source of methane, a greenhouse gas that contributes to global warming, is putting trees on the hot seat. mark for My Articles similar articles

'Ocean methane paradox' solved? Numerical simulation of methane production by methanogenic microorganisms suggests that up to 400 billion tonnes of methane could be sitting under the ice. If the ice sheet collapses due to a warming climate, this could release the gas, which in turn would increase warming, the researchers say. mark for My Articles similar articles
