The Atlantic is leaking methane – but researchers say there's no cause for alarm
We’ve seen all this before, but there is a twist this time, the authors of the paper are dialing back the alarm a bit. “…authigenic carbonates observed imply that emissions…
Cornell hypes on methane as a 'climate boogeyman'
