📈 🌎 .Berkeley Lab scientists found that Arctic and Boreal wetland methane emissions have increased 9% since 2002 in a new NatureClimate publication. Their findings can act as a scientific baseline to understand and address climate change. Read more: bit.ly/3OJssp4
As sea levels rise, wetland ecosystems have been observed to emit less methane - a potent #GreenhouseGas . But this small silver lining of #ClimateChange is not holding true at all sites, like this one in the #BayArea .
