      Methane cannot build up in the air because it oxides readily when exposed to UV light.
      It's measured in parts per billion and at such small amounts can have no significant effect on the weather.

    I'm glad to see this consolidation of data to reach these conclusions. I have thought for the last few years that the wetland production of CH4 was likely to increase because particularly in the north they region is warming more rapidly. I would like to see more detailed data on the year by year increase in CH4, but that data seems a little bit harder to come by.
    At the accelerated rate that CH4 is increasing it may over take the warming effect of CO2 in a decade or two. That's scary to contemplate!!

      The earth absorbs heat and carbon naturally and if none were around we would be an ice ball, we are currently adding I think 4 or five times the amount of carbon than the earth can absorb. meaning the temps we go to will be around longer, now it might be a 2000 years warmer earth before it can cool with the drop in carbon instead of 10,000
      If carbon in the atmosphere is water in a bucket and the hole in the bottom is carbon being absorbed, if we actually want the bucket empty weighting the bucket in a swimming pool and filling the pool is not the best way for that to happen

      So things will look very different at an average planetary temperature of say 19 Degrees Celsius vs 24 Degrees Celsius, (or higher)
      Each degree the average temperature goes up, will change the climate more from the baseline civilization was designed around.

    Methane (CH4) is only 0.00019% (1.9 parts per million) of the atmosphere. Both of its narrow absorption bands occur at wavelengths where water vapour (H2O) is already absorbing substantially. Hence, any radiation that CH4 might absorb has already been absorbed by H2O. With the concentration of water vapour in the atmosphere being between 1,000 and 20,000 times greater than CH4, the effects of CH4 are completely masked by H2O.
    As we live on a 'water world' there is water vapour in the atmosphere wherever you are. This masking of any meagre effect by methane has only increased because there has been a global increase in total precipitable water (TPW) of 2 % per decade from 1993-2021.

      If I may repost a comment I made to someone else regarding ruminants, who said animal farming was responsible for 51-87% of emissions :
      "A lot of modern countries have the same herd size as a hundred years ago, so cattle are carbon neutral for the methane they emit in those countries.
      Using 86% of the farmland is a moot point when we don't do anything to it and the animals are no different than wild animals on the same ground, it is non arable land.
      Using edible calories is a really poor metric too, we use 99% of the animal not just the 55ish% that is the easiest to grow, using a metric of all the emissions pushed onto the edible and not include total energy calories is just wrong. If you used toilet paper this morning gelatine held together that paper. If it all needs to be replaced, then using just food and saying we can grow a replacement for pet food but it's not included in the metrics is really misleading to people.
      If America, a big meat-eating country, ALL animals are 5% of emissions, cattle are 65% of this an all cattle are raised on grass and just finished differently, in USA if cattle are on slaughter yard diets of chaff and corn, crop waste, for one day, they can't be classed as grass fed, other countries have a couple of months.
      Rice as just one industry emits more than beef, for what you say to be true about 51% of emissions then we could cut rice and beef out and we have solved global warming, of course this isn't true. I would believe 51% of methane, which Paul Beckwith on his Methane breakdown had Methane at 16%, I thought Co2e, so 51% would be 8% of the total emissions. Not a small amount but 80% of our emissions are from driving and CO2, methane doesn't stay around 10,000 years like carbon will, more crops with tractors are not the answer, NO2 increasing because of synthetic fertilisers made by gas, NO2 is 300 times worse than CO2, is not going to replace all that we get from animals that are on non-arable land, that we don't irrigate, fertilise or spray insecticides on.
      Feeding people is not the metric, the world had for sale enough food for everybody to get fatter last year, we have massive over consumption of meat directly because of the increase in crops we feed more crop waste to animals than what we grow for them globally. If in US again I think it's 5.9 Billion tons of human crop food and ALL animals take around a third of corn grown for them which is 350 million tons so lets say 150 million ton is grown for all animals and then cows take half of that.
      Where I live it is impossible to not get 100% grass fed, same as all western countries for sure and in no way will we replace what all animals give us with the 14% of their diet which is grown.
      86% of what they eat, we can't, them turning it into products we can use and no further human activity needs to occur, means something and ignoring all that we get means we have an outdated idea based on flawed metrics still controlling conversation.
      These large animals need to stay on the ground, the loss of them would mean massive carbon losses in soil organisms, forests don't grow without nutrition so other animals there is going to change nothing in emissions because deer will move in.
      The story being all around what it is that we eat when it's such a small part of the overall picture really needs to stop, we could utilise them after they pass if that's that future but if we ignore crops need so much and I say this as ex vegan, a 3500% increase in numbers of vegans in America would generate so much crop waste and if we don't pass it through animals it would still emit to the atmosphere, so nothing has changed, the plants are only growing because of stored carbon being added and if the daily recommended amount of protein would be satisfied by herbivores then pigs, chickens and farmed fish wouldn't be needed. This is a simple metric because of exports but the point remains, we feed more crop waste to animals, mostly caged, going to more crops would make them carbon neutral because we would be growing nothing for them directly.

    It's a bit late to try & slow methane emissions, because wetland increases have initiated via warming. Even if we reduce carbon emissions & other sources of methane, wetland release isn't going to reduce. It only would if global air temp. dropped & that's not likely for many years after emissions are lowered. So that's a tipping point that's passed.
