This NASA's visualization of global atmospheric methane (CH₄) for 2021 highlights the greenhouse gas's sources and distribution patterns. Methane, which traps heat 28 times more effectively than CO₂ over 100 years, has risen by over 150% since industrialization. Major sources include wetlands, agriculture, and fossil fuel extraction. Using data from the Global Modeling and Assimilation Office and other models, the visualization aids in understanding methane's impact on climate change and improvi
