Atmospheric methane levels have surged to record highs in recent years and are projected to increase by as much as 13% by 2030, according to a report from the Climate & Clean Air Coalition. As scientists work to better understand what is driving this rise, a new collaborative study published in Nature Communications used methane isotopologues to trace where recent emissions originate and how they are changing around the world.
