Sentences with phrase «if global methane emissions»

It is shown that if global methane emissions were to increase by factors of 2.5 and 5.2 above current emissions, the indirect contributions to RF would be about 250 % and 400 %, respectively, of the RF that can be attributed to directly emitted methane alone.

If Americans want to consume vast quantities of cheap, factory - farmed cow and chicken and pig flesh, then there simply must be an unending supply of cheap factory - farmed grain to feed the animals, and an unending supply of cheap fossil fuels to power industrial agriculture, and the anthropogenic global warming associated with the CO2 and methane emissions from industrial animal agriculture must simply not be real.

There is no doubt that carbon emissions are still rising and to add a gas that is 20 times more powerful as a global warming gas into the air in sudden out - gassing events, even if these are only a few years apart, builds a step rise in Carbon content in the atmosphere that will subsequently become the plateau before the next big methane out - gassing event, regardless as to where it comes from.
