Forest soils in Germany are getting better at removing methane from the atmosphere, absorbing 3% more of the powerful greenhouse gas each year. The surprising 24-year study challenges what scientists thought they knew about climate change and forests.
Canada's oil and gas industry reduced emissions in 2025 even while producing record amounts of crude oil, proving cleaner extraction is possible. Smart technology and methane reduction strategies are making every barrel less carbon-intensive.
A 2022 volcanic eruption in the South Pacific unexpectedly cleaned up some of its own methane emissions, offering scientists new clues for fighting climate change. The discovery could inspire breakthrough methods to slow global warming within the next decade.
A massive underwater volcano eruption in 2022 triggered an unexpected atmospheric reaction that broke down methane, one of the most powerful greenhouse gases warming our planet. Scientists say this accidental discovery could help develop new tools to slow climate change.
Forest soils in Germany are becoming better at removing methane from the atmosphere as the climate changes. A groundbreaking 24-year study reveals that warmer, drier conditions actually boost forests' ability to fight this powerful greenhouse gas.
