Copernicus, the EU Earth observation service, is warning that methane is particularly dangerous because it is an extremely potent greenhouse gas with massive short-term warming potential. The message, shared widely on social media, stresses methane's outsized role in driving global warming compared with carbon dioxide, and comes amid ongoing discussion of methane emissions monitoring and climate change mitigation.
Why now: People are discussing methane's climate impact as Copernicus highlights its short-term warming power amid ongoing global warming concerns.
