AP Science Writer A new study says the amount and proportion of the powerful heat-trapping gas methane that humans spew into the atmosphere is rising, and it’s helping to turbocharge climate change. Scientists fear the extra potent gas is being ignored. Tuesday’s study finds that in 2020, the last year complete data is available, the world put 670 million tons of methane in the air. That’s up nearly 12% from 2000. Emissions that are directly tra…
