MORE METHANE

The view from my porch

Apparently as the Earth warms natural ecosystems such as freshwaters will release more methane than expected from predictions based on temperature increases alone. Long-term warming changes the balance in the methane-related microbial community so they produce more methane while proportionately less is oxidised to carbon dioxide. Short term methane is a more powerful greenhouse gas than CO2.
