Methane is the second most abundant greenhouse gas after carbon dioxide, albeit a distant second. It was very warm in the Arctic, there was some tropical forest burning, and there was increased rain in Indonesia and the Amazon. —Ed Earlier post.) At least three factors likely contributed to the methane increase. Dlugokencky, E.

Generally, any alternative energy form that can help reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and limit our reliance on fossil fuels is well-received. Further worries include the impact on water resources. It is working to define a criterion that clearly outlines standards and processes to promote sustainably produced biofuels.

St Jago pointed out fiddler crabs and mussels, and described differences of the local mangrove species — the red, white and black — and how they adapted to live and propagate where water meets land. The roots can arch up, pop up spikelike from the water or form stilts above and under the surface. Coral reefs get all the attention.
