A new study by researchers from the University of California, Riverside and colleagues in the US and Europe has now found that methane short-wave absorption counteracts ~30% of the surface warming associated with its long-wave radiative effects. This in turn reduces the amount of water that evaporates. Resources Allen, R.J.,
