Methane: A Neglected Greenhouse Gas
Kemfert, Claudia; Schill, Wolf-Peter - In: Weekly Report 5 (2009) 32, pp. 218-223

Methan - das unterschätzte Klimagas
Kemfert, Claudia; Schill, Wolf-Peter - In: DIW Wochenbericht 76 (2009) 39, pp. 656-662
In der öffentlichen Wahrnehmung steht Methan als Treibhausgas im Schatten von Kohlendioxid. Völlig zu Unrecht, denn mit einem Treibhauspotential, das etwa 25 mal größer als das von Kohlendioxid ist, macht es ein Sechstel der anthropogenen Treibhausgasemissionen aus. Unterschätzt wird Methan...
