Although greenhouse gases are present in the atmosphere in relatively small amounts, their increasing concentrations cause stronger heat trapping on Earth. The second most abundant greenhouse gas, methane, has a high heat-trapping capacity but a short lifespan in the atmosphere. Therefore, decreasing atmospheric methane levels would result in quicker decreases in warming. So-called “microbial methane munchers” have the unique abilities to lower methane emissions from diverse ecosystems. That’s..
