As the world races to curb climate change, scientists are taking aim at cows, a surprisingly potent source of greenhouse gases. Science correspondent Miles O’Brien traveled from California to Mexico ...

Because of its potent greenhouse properties, methane gas is a significant contributor to climate change. It also feeds microbes known as methanotrophs that convert the gas into carbon dioxide and ...

Roughly two-thirds of all emissions of atmospheric methane—a highly potent greenhouse gas that is warming planet Earth—come from microbes that live in oxygen-free environments like wetlands, rice ...

Flashes of microlightning between microscopic bubbles of methane in water may ignite the eerie blue flames of will-o’-the wisps, new research suggests.

Warming in the Arctic is intensifying methane emissions, contributing to a vicious feedback loop that could accelerate climate change even more, according to a new study published May 7 in Nature.

They feast on bubbles of methane seeping out of the ocean floor. Could their appetites be harnessed to slow climate change?

If you have ever cooked on a gas stove or seen a flame flicker to life with the turn of a knob, you have seen natural gas in ...

The findings are important because methane is over 25 times more powerful than carbon dioxide as a greenhouse gas. Arctic lakes are already major natural methane sources globally, but the processes ...

HARRISBURG (AP) — A northeastern Pennsylvania landfill will begin using the methane produced from rotting garbage to make electricity. State environmental regulators said Thursday they have signed off ...

Former Speaker of the House Sir Lockwood Smith joins Kerre Woodham to discuss the government's changes to methane goals, and why it's the right move for fa ...
