Diseased trees turned into methane producers, study shows

The video discusses research findings on trees aged 80 to 100 years, which are affected by fungal diseases, making them flammable and leading to methane emissions. These emissions are significant, equating to one-fifth of the carbon absorbed by the trees. If these methane releases were considered globally, they could account for 10% of global emissions. The video also highlights that red maple trees produce the highest levels of methane, followed by oak, birch, and pine.
