Deskripsi
Methane is a powerful greenhouse gas and previous studies focus on its sources with less attention on the loss. Here the authors show that reactive halogen species, not considered in climate projections, significantly reduces the methane loss, increasing its lifetime, burden, and radiative forcing.
