Temporary carbon removals can offset methane's short-term warming impact

Carbon removal projects could prove vital in offsetting methane emissions—the second largest contributor to global warming.

Temporary CO2 Removal Will Help Offset Methane Emissions: Report

Methane emissions, unlike carbon dioxide, cause a faster increase in temperature. A new study by Nature revealed that temporarily removing Carbon Dioxide (CO2) is the most effective way to offset methane emissions, which have a large short-term effect on the temperature.  The report said that matching the temporary temperature effects of methane with equivalent temporary CO2 cooling eliminates significant climate burden being passed to future ge…
