Methane is emitted from a range of anthropogenic sources like landfills, agriculture, and fossil fuels, as well as natural systems like wetlands.
It is the second most important greenhouse gas that humans are contributing to.
Since pre-industrial times, increases in atmospheric methane have contributed to a quarter of the climate-warming effect from greenhouse gases.
But unlike carbon dioxide, methane has a shorter lifetime in the atmosphere.
If big changes are brought in our emissions, methane can be removed relatively quickly.
Recently international team of scientists has published an update on the global methane budget as part of the Global Carbon Project.
They estimated annual global methane emissions at nearly 570 million tons for the 2008 to 2017 decade which is 5% higher than emissions recorded in the early 2000s.
It estimated that wetlands made up for the largest natural source of methane and other sources like agriculture, waste and fossil fuels contributed to 60%.
Wetlands are estimated to make up 20% to 30% of the global methane budget, but emissions vary by latitude.
The fluxes are larger in the tropics than in the high latitudes and temperate zones.
Study planner is an invaluable tool for students, enabling them to assess
their strengths and weaknesses through tests. It calculates the optimal daily study time
required to cover the syllabus. This personalized approach enhances productivity and fosters
effective time management, ultimately boosting academic performance.
PERSONALISED TEST
A personalized test allows students to select their preferred topic and
subtopic from the curriculum. It generates a tailored examination by randomly selecting
questions related to their choices. This approach promotes engagement, reinforces specific
learning objectives, and fosters a deeper understanding of the material through active
participation in the assessment process.
PREDECTIVE ANALYTICS
The analytics system tracks the time spent and records correct answers for
all questions attempted. It compiles this data into analyses, offering students valuable
insights into their preparation, identifying strengths and weaknesses, and helping them
optimize their study strategies for improved performance.
