phys.org: Wastewater sector emits nearly twice as much methane as previously thought
Quote:
Municipal wastewater treatment plants emit nearly double the amount of methane into the atmosphere than scientists previously believed, according to new research from Princeton University. And since methane warms the planet over 80 times more powerfully than carbon dioxide over 20 years, that could be a big problem.
Leaky Methane digesters are just the start.

phys.org: Social media posts around solar geoengineering 'spill over' into conspiracy theories[
Quote:
While the controversy around geoengineering will continue on social media, the team say what they really need is quality data and research. "There are risks associated with geoengineering, but how do these compare with the risks of letting climate change continue unabated?" said Fitzgerald. "I worry that knowledge hasn't progressed in this area. What happens if some rogue entity decides to go for a huge deployment of SRM, and people end up suffering because of it? This is why it's so important to have informed discussions backed up by quality research."
