The United Nations Methane emissions caused by human activity can be reduced by up to 45 per cent this decade, thus helping to keep global temperature rise to 1.5 degrees Celsius in line with the Paris Agreement on climate change, according to a UN-backed report published on Thursday. The Global Methane Assessment outlines the benefits of mitigating methane, a key ingredient in smog, which include preventing some 260,000 premature deaths and 775,000 asthma-related hospital visits annually, as w...

Methane Emission: Its reduction by 30pc can slow global warming Says UN Afp, Paris Afp, Paris Industry could cheaply and easily slash humanitys methane emissions by at least 30 percent in a decade, the United Nations said yesterday, adding that such cuts would slow global warming and prevent hundreds of thousands of deaths.  Curbing emissions of methane from farming, fossil fuel operations and waste management is a crucial part of efforts to restrain...

Print Cutting the super-potent greenhouse gas methane quickly and dramatically is the world’s best hope to slow and limit the worst of global warming, a new United Nations report says. If human-caused methane emissions are cut by nearly in half by 2030, a half degree (0.3 degrees Celsius) of warming can be prevented by mid-century, according to Thursday’s report by the United Nations Environment Programme. The report said the methane reduction would be relatively inexpensive and achievable ...
