Per kilogram, it is 25 times more powerful than carbon dioxide over a 100-year time horizon -- and global warming is likely to enhance methane release from a number of sources. Current natural and man-made sources include many where methane-producing micro-organisms can thrive in anaerobic conditions, particularly ruminant livestock, rice cultivation, landfill, wastewater, wetlands and marine sediments. This timely and authoritative book provides the only comprehensive and balanced overview of our current knowledge of sources of methane and how these might be controlled to limit future climate change. It describes how methane is derived from the anaerobic metabolism of micro-organisms, whether in wetlands or rice fields, manure, landfill or wastewater, or the digestive systems of cattle and other ruminant animals. It highlights how sources of methane might themselves be affected by climate change. It is shown how numerous point sources of methane have the potential to be more easily addressed than sources of carbon dioxide and therefore contribute significantly to climate change mitigation in the 21st century."--Publisher's description. 606 $aAtmospheric methane$xEnvironmental aspects 606 $aMethane$xEnvironmental aspects 606 $aClimatic changes 615 0$aAtmospheric methane$xEnvironmental aspects. 615 0$aMethane$xEnvironmental aspects. 615 0$aClimatic changes. 676 $a551.6 701 $aAmstel$b Andre van$01107980 701 $aReay$b Dave$f1972-$0323486 701 $aSmith$b Peter$f1965 Apr. 16-$01520540 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910784946303321 996 $aMethane and climate change$93759161 997 $aUNINA
