Here's a typical news headline (yesterday):
Methane issues at Peterborough landfill a concern for nearby residents
The Peterborough Examiner*
They say:
“In the first two decades after its release, methane
is 84 times more potent than carbon dioxide.”
You know what? That doesn't actually tell you how much warming methane will cause. In degrees Celsius by 2100 or if it doubles in concentration I bet no one on these boards can say how much that is.
Methane is in the atmosphere at about 1800 ppb and is increasing about 6 or 7 ppb annually.
