Methane is a potent greenhouse gas with a warming potential more than 28 times that of carbon dioxide (CO2). But when it comes to livestock and climate change, there are many other characteristics that set it apart from CO2. Here are an important four:
It stays in our atmosphere for about 12 years
It’s derived from atmospheric carbon, such as CO2
It’s part of the biogenic carbon cycle
It eventually returns to the atmosphere as CO2, making it recycled carbon.
