The greenhouse gas methane has two distinct characteristics. Gram for gram, it heats the Earth's atmosphere by a factor of 28 more than carbon dioxide. However, its high-altitude absorption of solar radiation also changes cloud formation, which somewhat mitigates the warming effect. Accordingly, methane's solar absorption triggers a chain of events that lessens its overall warming effect by about 30% rather than increasing it, as was previously believed, as reported by researchers in...
