Methane is an important greenhouse gas that can cause global
warming. The present concentrations of methane are nearly three
times higher than several hundred years ago. Today, more than 60%
of the atmospheric methane comes from human activities, including
rice agriculture, coal mining, natural gas usage, biomass burning,
and raising of cattle. Methane affects the stratospheric ozone
layer and the oxidizing capacity of the atmosphere, which in turn
control the concentrations of many man-made and natural gases in
the atmosphere. This book brings together our knowledge of the
trends and the causes behind the increased levels of methane. Based
on the scientific information on the sources and sinks, and the
role of methane in global warming, strategies to limit emissions
can be designed as part of a program to control future global
warming.
