40,000 years ago rapid warming led to an increase in methane concentration. The culprit for this increase has now been identified. Mainly wetlands in high northern latitudes caused the methane increase. This result refutes an alternative theory dis-cussed amongst experts, the so-called “clathrate gun hypothesis.”

Scientists have evaluated the EPA and IPCC approach to estimate greenhouse emissions from anaerobic lagoons. They documented errors in the approach, which the EPA and IPCC adapted from a method used to estimate methane production from anaerobic digesters.
