Methane is a potent greenhouse gas, meaning it effectively traps heat in the Earth's atmosphere, and is considered the second most significant contributor to climate change after carbon dioxide, primarily due to its ability to trap significantly more heat per molecule despite having a shorter atmospheric lifespan compared to CO2; it is often emitted from sources like agriculture, landfills, and fossil fuel operations.
