Carbon dioxide

· Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the most common GHG, and the majority of policy approaches to climate change

  (which can be found intersperesed throughout the climate change pages at EarthWeb.info) focus on it.

Methane

· Methane and natural gas are nearly, if not 100%, synonymous. Since methane is both an energy

   source as well as a climate pollutant, some of the links below might seem  better suited on the

   Fossil Fuels page. They are collected in one place here, however, for ease of reference.

Global Methane Pledge

     · “...launched at COP26 by the European Union and the United States who have been joined by many

       countries. In March 2024, GMP counted 158 participants. Participants joining the Pledge agree to take

       voluntary actions to contribute to a collective effort to reduce global methane emissions at least 30

       percent from 2020 levels by 2030. This is a global, not a national reduction target. With 158 country

       participants, representing a little over 50% of global anthropogenic methane emissions, we are well

       on our way to achieving the Pledge goal.”
