About this episode
When it comes to greenhouse gasses, C02 typically takes center stage. In this episode we take on the 2nd most prolific greenhouse gas, methane, which is comparatively a much more powerful gas when it comes to global warming.
There are many theories that exist regarding the future of methane, and we try to take a balanced look at those here.
