Without action on climate change between now and 2050, cumulative costs could reach $294 billion.

The world's methane emissions continue to rise steadily with no signs of slowing, as global trade contributes some 30% to the total amount of the greenhouse gas swirling around the planet, a new study ...

Methane is a highly potent heat-trapping gas, and cutting methane pollution can slow warming more quickly than many other climate strategies. Fossil fuel leaks are also largely avoidable.

Bursts of plasma can convert methane into methanol without high heat and high pressures, according to new research. This finding could help to combat one of the adverse effects of climate change since ...

Methane eating microbes could help turn a powerful greenhouse gas into everyday products like animal feed, green plastics, and cleaner fuels, according to a new scientific review of fast moving ...
