#Methane a potent greenhouse gas, contributes to roughly 30% of global warming since pre-industrial levels. Human-related sources, mainly agriculture and the #FossilFuel sector contribute to 60% of its emissions.
The IEA suggests that rapid cuts in methane emissions could prevent up to 0.1°C of warming by mid-century.
This may seem small, but in the context of #climatechange could have impacts on ecosystems, sea levels and extreme weather events.
