<P style="MARGIN-TOP: 0px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px">Rising levels of methane in
the atmosphere may be a sign that a great transition in Earth’s climate
has begun. That’s the scary conclusion of new research that applies a
geological perspective to this aspect of the climate crisis.</P>
<P style="MARGIN-TOP: 20px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px">You’re reading the Imagine
newsletter – a weekly synthesis of academic insight on solutions to
climate change, brought to you by The Conversation. I’m Will de Freitas,
energy and environment editor, covering for my colleague Jack Marley, who
is on holiday but probably still worrying about geological perspectives on
the climate crisis. This week, we’ll focus not on carbon dioxide but on
the other main greenhouse gas: methane.</P>
<P style="MARGIN-TOP: 20px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px">There’s less methane in
the atmosphere than CO₂ and it doesn’t last as long, but it is much more
potent as a greenhouse gas. After CO₂, methane is the second biggest
driver of global warming and no other gas comes close.</P>
<P style="MARGIN-TOP: 20px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px">But over the past decade
or two, methane has been rising fast. Here’s Euan Nisbet, an earth
scientist at Royal Holloway University of London and <A
style="COLOR: #202020; TEXT-DECORATION: underline; transition: opacity 0.1s ease-in"
href="https://theconversationuk.cmail20.com/t/r-l-ttkriyhl-nljldnkrt-r/">author
of the new study</A>:</P>
<P style="MARGIN-TOP: 20px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px">“Imagine accelerating a
car with your foot flat down. The car speeds up but eventually air
resistance equals engine power and the car hits maximum speed. In 1999, it
looked like methane had reached a similar equilibrium between its sources
and sinks. Then in late 2006, the amount of methane in the air climbed
fast. Even more unexpectedly five years later, the rate of growth sped up
again. During the 2020s the growth rate has become yet faster, faster even
than during the peak of gas industry leaks in the 1980s.”</P>
<P style="MARGIN-TOP: 20px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px">Nisbet says this growth is
likely down to livestock, landfills and, most significantly, wetlands.</P>
<P style="MARGIN-TOP: 20px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px">In fact, a group of
researchers, led by Judith Rosentreter of Yale, published research showing
aquatic ecosystems are responsible for <A
style="COLOR: #202020; TEXT-DECORATION: underline; transition: opacity 0.1s ease-in"
href="https://theconversationuk.cmail20.com/t/r-l-ttkriyhl-nljldnkrt-y/">half
of global methane emissions</A>. This includes natural, human-created and
human-impacted aquatic ecosystems. As they put it, everything “from
flooded rice paddies and aquaculture ponds to wetlands, lakes and salt
marshes.”</P>
<P style="MARGIN-TOP: 20px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px">Here’s how it works: “Most
of the methane emitted from aquatic ecosystems is produced by
micro-organisms living in deep, oxygen-free sediments. These tiny
organisms break down organic matter such as dead algae in a process called
"methanogenesis”. This releases methane to the water, where some is
consumed by other types of micro-organisms. Some of it also reaches the
atmosphere.“</P>
<P style="MARGIN-TOP: 20px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px">Nisbet says an increase in
these emissions is one impact of climate change: "increasing rainfall has
made wetlands wetter and bigger while rising temperatures have boosted
plant growth, providing more decomposing matter and so more methane.”</P>
<P style="MARGIN-TOP: 20px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px">Rosentreter and colleagues
also point out that human-impacted aquatic ecosystems – rivers polluted
with fertiliser, aquaculture farms, rice farms and so on – “increase the
amount of organic matter available to produce methane, which causes
emissions to rise”. They say that “globally, rice cultivation releases
more methane per year than all coastal wetlands, the continental shelf and
open ocean together.”</P>
<P style="MARGIN-TOP: 20px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px">There are solutions.
Rosentreter and co suggest restoring salt marshes and mangroves, reducing
the amount of fertiliser washing into rivers and wetlands (which leads to
algal blooms and more methane when that algae is broken down), and
“managing aquaculture farms and rice paddies so they alternate between wet
and dry conditions”.</P>
<P style="MARGIN-TOP: 20px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px">Nisbet also cites
“plugging leaks in the oil and gas industry, covering landfills with soil,
reducing crop-waste burning”.</P>
<P style="MARGIN-TOP: 20px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px">There should be some
relatively easy wins, as <A
style="COLOR: #202020; TEXT-DECORATION: underline; transition: opacity 0.1s ease-in"
href="https://theconversationuk.cmail20.com/t/r-l-ttkriyhl-nljldnkrt-j/">just
13% of human-made emissions from agriculture, energy and waste are
properly regulated</A>, according to a study published earlier this year
by Maria Olczak at Queen Mary University of London.</P>
<P style="MARGIN-TOP: 20px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px">“Within almost every
sector there are major methane sources that have been largely overlooked”,
she writes. “These include the digestive gases of cows and other
livestock, methane from the ventilation shafts of coal mines,
high-emitting sources in the oil and gas sector (so called
super-emitters), and from abandoned mines and oil and gas wells.”</P>
<P style="MARGIN-TOP: 20px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px">Fixing those leaks from
the oil and gas industry could actually <A
style="COLOR: #202020; TEXT-DECORATION: underline; transition: opacity 0.1s ease-in"
href="https://theconversationuk.cmail20.com/t/r-l-ttkriyhl-nljldnkrt-t/">pay
for itself</A>, says Jim Kane of Rice University in the US. He cites a
report that suggests “a one-time investment of $11 billion would eliminate
roughly 75% of methane leaks worldwide.” Investments in infrastructure and
repairs would “not only reduce warming”, he writes, “but they would also
generate profits for producers”.</P>
<P style="MARGIN-TOP: 20px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px">There are more leftfield
solutions too, such as feeding seaweed to cows. “The native Australian red
seaweed <EM>Asparagopsis</EM> has been shown to <A

href="https://theconversationuk.cmail20.com/t/r-l-ttkriyhl-nljldnkrt-i/">markedly
reduce methane production in cattle</A>, when added to their diet”, says
Catriona McLeod from the University of Tasmania’s Fisheries and
Aquaculture Centre.</P>
<P style="MARGIN-TOP: 20px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px">But back to the really
scary part. In Nisbet’s new study, he looked at periods over the past few
million years when Earth’s climate has flipped from ice age to warmer
interglacial periods. He notes that: “With each flip from a glacial to an
interglacial climate there have been sudden, sharp rises in atmospheric
methane, likely from expanding tropical wetlands.”</P>
<P style="MARGIN-TOP: 20px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px">His worry is that
something similar is happening now. The rapid growth of methane since 2006
is “comparable with records of methane from the early years of abrupt
phases of past [shifts to interglacial conditions], like the one that
warmed Greenland so dramatically less than 12,000 years ago.”</P>
<P style="MARGIN-TOP: 20px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px">“In the past, this took
Earth out of stable ice age climates and into warm inter-glacials. But we
are already in a warm interglacial. What comes next is hard to
imagine”.</P>
<P style="MARGIN-TOP: 20px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px">When you spend your days
editing the latest academic research on climate change it can be tempting
to zone out a bit, to not let individual bits of bad news affect you too
much. But this piece really shook me. My colleague Jack, who worked on the
story, described it as the scariest he had ever edited.</P>
<P style="MARGIN-TOP: 20px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px">Nisbet’s article is our
most read of 2023. If you’re one of the many people who have already read
it, perhaps you could share it with someone else?</P>
