New Study Finds African Wetlands Responsible For Global Surge in Methane Emissions
The African Wetlands are identified as a hot spot in a new study for one-third of the global methane surge, as Newsweek reported. Methane emissions, which are about 28 times more potent greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide, have been rising steadily since 2007.
A massive influx of water from East African lakes, including Lake Victoria, flowing into the wetlands of South Sudan, has been captured in Satellite data. That water caused plant growth and microbial activity, producing a massive amount of methane, as the
