National Geographic: The U.S. will rein in methane from its biggest human source-the oil and gas industry-but the new rules won't touch a wide swath of places already leaking the invisible, heat-trapping gas. Strengthened Environmental Protection Agency standards aimed at new energy facilities, proposed Tuesday, will cut somewhere between 20 to 30 percent of the sector's methane emissions from 2012 levels over the next decade, estimates Janet McCabe, acting assistant administrator for the EPA's Office of Air and Radiation....

Methane and Climate Change: Arctic Bacteria Might Eat Methane?
2015-08-16 23:48:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World: Methane build-up in the Arctic is one of scientists' major concerns regarding warming Arctic temperatures. Along with melting poles and threatened species, the fear is that carbon locked in the soil will release as carbon dioxide and methane. But there might be some hope in this area. That is, Princeton University researchers and others recently published a report in The ISME Journal saying that bacteria that eat methane might allow most Arctic soil to absorb, not release, methane. According to...
