These 2005 NASA computer model simulations—calculated based on data available at that time—illustrate how methane is destroyed as it rises. As air rises in the tropics, methane is carried upwards through the troposphere—the lowest portion of Earth's atmosphere which is 4 miles (6.4 km) to 12 miles (19 km) from the Earth's surface, into ...

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]
Carbon dioxide's average level for 2023 was 419.3 parts per million, up 50% from pre-industrial times. ... that could trim future rises in temperature by a tenth ... of methane in the air show ...
Average levels in 2016 reached 403.3 parts per million, up from 400 parts per million in 2015. The amount of CO2 in the atmosphere reached a record high in 2016, according to the World ...
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.
Increases in levels of carbon dioxide – the main greenhouse gas – from 2020 to 2021 was larger than the average annual growth rate over the last decade, with concentrations reaching 415.7 ...
The level of the water table represents the boundary between anaerobic methane production and aerobic methane consumption. When the water table is low, the methane generated within the wetland soil has to come up through the soil and get past a deeper layer of methanotrophic bacteria , thereby reducing emission.
