'Detergent' Molecules May Be Driving Fluctuations in Atmospheric Methane Concentrations
Description: New modeling by researchers suggests that methane emissions might not have increased dramatically in 2007 after all. Instead, the most likely explanation has less to do with methane emissions and more to do with changes in the availability of the hydroxyl (OH) radical, which breaks down methane in the atmosphere.
