TED: The fastest way to slow climate change now | Ilissa Ocko

The video discusses the significant impact of climate-warming gases, particularly methane, on global warming. Methane, though a smaller percentage of emissions, has a greater short-term warming potential than CO2. The video highlights the importance of reducing methane emissions from energy production, waste management, and agriculture. It emphasizes the availability of technologies to detect and mitigate methane leaks, offering immediate climate benefits. The speaker calls for global efforts to set methane reduction targets, which can slow warming, improve air quality, and protect vulnerable communities. The video concludes by stressing the need for both methane and CO2 reductions to ensure a safer future.
