[50] From 2015 to 2019 sharp rises in levels of atmospheric methane have been recorded. [51] In 2010, methane levels in the Arctic were measured at 1850 nmol/mol which is over twice as high as at any time in the last 400,000 years. [citation needed] According to the IPCC AR5, since 2011 concentrations continued to increase.
Atmospheric methane removal is a category of potential approaches being researched to accelerate the breakdown of methane that is in the atmosphere, for the purpose of mitigating some of the impacts of climate change. [1] Atmospheric methane has increased since pre-industrial times from 0.7 ppm to 1.9 ppm. [2]
Globally averaged atmospheric concentration and its annual growth rate. [17] In April 2022, NOAA reported an annual increase in global atmospheric methane of 17 parts per billion (ppb) in 2021—averaging 1,895.7 ppb in that year—the largest annual increase recorded since systematic measurements began in 1983; the increase during 2020 was 15.3 ppb, itself a record increase.

The NWS in Flagstaff issued red flag warnings for Thursday and Friday for eastern and southeastern Arizona.
Global monitoring of atmospheric methane concentrations began in the 1980s. [11] The Earth's atmospheric methane concentration has increased 160% since preindustrial levels in the mid-18th century. [11] In 2013, atmospheric methane accounted for 20% of the total radiative forcing from all of the long-lived and globally mixed greenhouse gases. [63]

More than 70% of atmospheric methane comes from biogenic sources. Methane levels have risen gradually since the onset of the industrial era, [13] from ~700 ppb in 1750 to ~1775 ppb in 2005. [10] Methane can be removed from the atmosphere through a reaction of the photochemically produced hydroxyl free radical (OH).
