After a decade of near-zero growth in methane levels, "globally averaged atmospheric methane increased by [approximately] 7 nmol/mol per year during 2007 and 2008. During the first half of 2009, globally averaged atmospheric CH 4 was [approximately] 7 nmol/mol greater than it was in 2008, suggesting that the increase will continue in 2009."
At about 891 kJ/mol, methane's heat of combustion is lower than that of any other hydrocarbon, but the ratio of the heat of combustion (891 kJ/mol) to the molecular mass (16.0 g/mol, of which 12.0 g/mol is carbon) shows that methane, being the simplest hydrocarbon, produces more heat per mass unit (55.7 kJ/g) than other complex hydrocarbons.
Table data obtained from CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics 44th ed. Annotation "(s)" indicates equilibrium temperature of vapor over solid. Otherwise temperature is equilibrium of vapor over liquid. Note that these are all negative temperature values. Methane vapor pressure vs. temperature.
Methane is 80 times more powerful than carbon dioxide (CO2) at trapping heat over a timespan of 20 years, and accounts for about one-third of the 1.3 degrees Celsius (2.3 F) in warming that the ...
Carbon dioxide's average level for 2023 was 419.3 parts per million, up 50% from pre-industrial times. Last year's methane's jump of 11.1 parts per billion was lower than record annual rises from ...
According to the Global Methane Assessment published in 2021, methane emissions from livestock (including cattle) are the largest sources of agricultural emissions worldwide [10] A single cow can make up to 99 kg of methane gas per year. [11] Ruminant livestock can produce 250 to 500 L of methane per day. [12]

In an ideal world, doctors would gauge health risks by measuring exercise capacity, Angadi added, noting that it should be considered a “vital sign” like blood pressure, pulse rate, and ...
