Biden Leads Global Movement to Slash Methane

President Biden announced new US regulations to reduce methane emissions from oil and gas drilling, involving the Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Transportation. Additionally, initiatives to promote climate-smart agricultural practices aim to cut methane emissions on farms. Methane, a potent greenhouse gas, has a higher heat-trapping potential than CO2 but breaks down faster, making its reduction impactful for global warming. A global methane pledge, led by the US and EU, aims to cut emissions by 30% by the decade's end, with nearly 90 countries, including Brazil, joining the effort.
