Reduce methane emissions Methane essentially comes from the decay of vegetation, animals’ digestion and the exploitation of fossil fuels, methane is a greenhouse gas with a massive footprint, 80+ times more potent than carbon dioxide in the first 20 years. Cutting this would help limit global warming by a huge half a degree.
