Methane - CO₂’s troublesome little brother that packs a punch.
Methane is a powerful greenhouse gas but is short lived. This makes it a strong warming driver but also a fast acting brake if emissions are cut. A natural feedback lurks in the permafrost though.

Long-Term Study Suggests Landfill Methane Emissions Are Far Higher Than Estimates
Methane is an especially potent greenhouse gas, causing much more warming than carbon dioxide on a unit-for-unit basis—and a new, uniquely long-term study of emissions at a New Jersey landfill suggests that estimates of methane pollution in the U.S. and elsewhere may be dramatically off. The study, published by researchers at Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, which is part of the Columbia Climate School, used continuous ground-based measurements to determine that landfill methane emissions are likely much higher than current estimates. Methane’s potency is caused by the geometric structure of its molecules, which allows them to absorb more infrared light—and thus become hotter—than does carbon dioxide (CO2). One ton of methane has the warming potential of about 28 tons of CO2; in 2022, the most recent year for which official U.S. emissions data exist, methane accounted for roughly 12 percent of the country’s greenhouse gas emissions. A similar proportion applies to global emissions. Landfills, where decomposing organic waste feeds methane-generating microbes, are responsible for an estimated 17 percent of U.S. methane emissions. The primary method used by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to calculate landfill methane emissions projects emissions based on a landfill’s total waste, adjusted to account for gas captured...
