Methane is even worse for global warming then CO2

dissident wrote:It is highly likely that 10% of global emissions are from melting in the Arctic. This is a new emissions contribution and not part of the natural emissions from bogs, etc. It is increasing rapidly.

CH4 from permafrost represents a positive feedback that hasn't been included in past global climate models and has been completely ignored by the Paris Accords.

They are all just wild a$$ed guesses and are full of built in bias's inadvertently built into them by the "concerned scientists" that build such things not realizing the "concern" that prompts them to undertake the considerable task taints every decision or parameter they program into the system.

Taking the atmospheric carbon fight to Methane
https://www.edf.org/climate/methane-crucial-opportunity-climate-fight#:~:text=Methane%20has%20more%20than%2080,warming%20in%20the%20near%20term.
"Methane has more than 80 times the warming power of carbon dioxide over the first 20 years after it reaches the atmosphere. Even though CO2 has a longer-lasting effect, methane sets the pace for warming in the near term.
At least 25% of today’s warming is driven by methane from human actions. One of the largest methane sources is the oil and gas industry."
