Abstract:
The Paris Agreement is not on track to meet its goals. But there's a sliver of hope. Something can be done about methane, the second-most important anthropogenic greenhouse gas. With a lifetime of around a decade, cutting methane will have rapid impact. Much of the hope rests on China's new Methane Emissions Control Action Plan, accompanying the joint commitment for methane action announced with Chinese Premier Xi's and US President Biden's November meeting.
