🔥 As summer heats up, we’ve got a Pulse Perspective on #methane. The fight against climate change is almost always referred to as the fight against #carbondioxide. However, a lesser-known greenhouse gas is responsible for 0.5C, or one-third, of all anthropogenic global warming to date. As we reiterated in our most recent newsletter and Forbes op-ed, we should be investing in methane mitigation to seize the climate emergency brake.
