  2. Atmospheric methane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmospheric_methane

    The atmospheric methane concentration has continued to increase since 2011 to an average global concentration of 1911.8 ± 0.6 ppb as of 2022. [16] The May 2021 peak was 1891.6 ppb, while the April 2022 peak was 1909.4 ppb, a 0.9% increase. [55] Annual atmospheric methane concentrations from 1990 to 2021.

  3. Methane emissions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methane_emissions

    The atmospheric methane (CH 4) concentration is increasing and exceeded 1860 parts per billion in 2019, equal to two-and-a-half times the pre-industrial level. [19] The methane itself causes direct radiative forcing that is second only to that of carbon dioxide (CO 2). [20]

    Methane traps about 28 times the heat per molecule as carbon dioxide but lasts a decade or so in the atmosphere instead of centuries or thousands of years like carbon dioxide, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Carbon dioxide and methane levels have been higher in the far ancient past, but it was before humans existed.

  5. Atmospheric carbon cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmospheric_carbon_cycle

    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).

    The amount of CO2 in the atmosphere reached a record high in 2016, according to the World Meteorological Organization (WMO). Thanks to a combination of human activities and the El Nino weather ...

  9. Greenhouse gas monitoring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenhouse_gas_monitoring

    Greenhouse gas monitoring is the direct measurement of greenhouse gas emissions and levels. There are several different methods of measuring carbon dioxide concentrations in the atmosphere, including infrared analyzing and manometry. Methane and nitrous oxide are measured by other instruments.
