The last time methane in the air rose so fast, Greenland warmed by 10°C within decades.
Methane emissions threaten humanity’s ability to limit warming to relatively safe levels
Do they fuck, we could geoengineer cooling very easily. We need to know more before we do, but injecting aerosols into the stratosphere isn't technically difficult.
