A study carried out by the Superior Council of Scientific Investigations of Spain (CSIC) and the University of Granada claims that the current colonies of Antarctic penguins represent a natural source of methane: almost 7 million tons of methane are produced
Penguin colonies in Antarctica could contribute significantly to natural methane emissions, a greenhouse gas that heats the planet stronger than carbon dioxide over the same reference period.
Penguins in Antarctica emit huge amounts of methane, greenhouse gas much stronger than carbon dioxide. Researchers estimate that emissions could reach seven million tons per year, coming in [...]
Large penguin colonies in Antarctica could contribute significantly to natural methane emissions, a greenhouse gas that is much more efficient in capturing heat than carbon dioxide.
Penguin colonies in Antarctica contribute to the release into the atmosphere of significant quantities of methane, a gas with a global warming effect stronger than carbon dioxide. A study by Spanish researchers indicates that emissions associated with these birds could reach about seven million tons annually, a source that had not been taken into account so far.
