The current concentration of atmospheric methane is more than 2.5 times higher than pre-industrial levels, which places us between the RCP6.0 and RCP8.5 pathways, and corresponds to a GMT increase above 3\u00b0C by 2100. Agriculture and fossil fuel extraction accounted for over 50% of the increase; thus far, emissions from permafrost do not appear as a major signal.\u00a0 Our ability to meet the 1.5-2\u00b0C target of the Paris Agreement as regards methane depends largely on efforts in the agriculture, fossil fuel and waste sectors of the global economy, according to the report.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/essd.copernicus.org\/articles\/12\/1561\/2020\/\">https:\/\/essd.copernicus.org\/articles\/12\/1561\/2020\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.globalcarbonproject.org\/methanebudget\">www.globalcarbonproject.org\/methanebudget<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Compiled by Amy Imdieke<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Global Methane Budget, 2000-2017 (2020), July 15, 2020.
