Why did methane levels shoot up in Covid yr? Warm weather, and less pollution -Antara Baruah

In a study published in the Nature journal Wednesday, scientists attributed the methane growth in 2020 to wetland emission and changes in ‘atmospheric sink’.

New Delhi: In 2020, the year Covid-19 pandemic led to global economic slowdown, researchers documented an alarming rise in atmospheric level of methane emissions, despite a drop in human-induced emissions.

Scientists attributed the methane growth rate anomaly to lower hydroxyl radical (OH), which is the main remover of methane, and higher natural emissions, mostly from wetlands.

The observations were published in the Nature journal Wednesday in an article titled ‘Wetland emission and atmospheric sink changes explain methane growth in 2020’.
