Promised in President Obama's Climate Action Plan last June, the methane strategy is a big step in the right direction. Methane (CH4) is a powerful heat-trapping pollutant, much more potent pound for pound than carbon dioxide, and is the second most important climate pollutant overall. Curbing the big sources of methane is essential to meeting the Presidents climate protection target of reducing U.S. heat-trapping...
