Methane concentrations have increased about 150 percent in the air since 1750 and now far exceed the natural range of the past 650,000 years, the U.N.’s climate panel says. And human activities are largely to blame.
The panel will be focusing on ways to curb methane and other greenhouse gas emissions when it releases a major report on mitigating the effects of climate change in Bangkok in early May.
Great place for the IPCC UN panel to choose to have its meeting, Bangkok.. or is it just coincidence?
