PRINCETON, New Jersey, Sept. 21 [TNSmaterialsresearch] -- Princeton University issued the following news release:
In independent studies, two Princeton University research teams recently identified surprisingly large sources of methane, a powerful greenhouse gas, being leaked into the atmosphere. Pound for pound, methane causes a far greater warming effect in the atmosphere than does carbon dioxide -- 86-fold more heating over 20 years, and 35-fold more over the course of a century. . . .
