NASA could detect inhabited planets by tracing methane
Research continues. Tirelessly. But scientists still haven’t found any trace of life anywhere else in the Universe. For now, anyway. So a lot of hope is pinned on the Webb…

Extraterrestrial life: methane as the first clue
Research continues. Tirelessly. But scientists still haven’t found any trace of life anywhere else in the Universe. So a lot of hope is pinned on the James-Webb Space Telescope. It…
reduce methane emissions to save sea ice
In a study to be published this Wednesday, March 15, scientists explain that it is possible to preserve the sea ice in the Arctic Ocean on condition of acting against…
Could stopping producing meat save the planet?
Eliminate animal husbandry to stabilize greenhouse gas levels for decades to come. The idea of “all vegetarians” was launched again a few days ago. Not by any candidate for the…
Scientists think we need to review the role of methane in global warming
When we talk about global warming, we immediately talk about carbon dioxide (CO2). And we sometimes forget rather quickly that there are other greenhouse gases. Methane (CH4) especially. Its ability…
Global warming: the underestimated role of methane?
When we talk about global warming, we immediately talk about carbon dioxide (CO2). And we sometimes forget rather quickly that there are other greenhouse gases. Methane (CH4) especially. Its ability…
Colossal leaks of industrial methane detected from space
As the second greenhouse gas, methane is highly monitored. Recently, the Tropomi atmospheric monitoring instrument observed huge methane leaks equivalent to 20 million vehicles circulating for a year. You will…

What is the origin of methane hydrates?
In a context of global warming, the melting of methane hydrates is a major concern that could significantly impact the current evolution of the climate. Small presentation of these gas…
