["Methane is a potent GHG. Methane is estimated to be 86 times more potent a warming agent than CO2 over a 20-year period, and 34 times more potent than CO2 over a 100-year period Footnote
4. In addition to its significant climate impacts, methane contributes to the formation of ground-level ozone. 4,300 kt of methane were emitted in Canada in 2014, accounting for 108 Mt CO2e, or 15%, of Canada’s total GHG emissions Footnote
5 (using the most recent GWP for methane, this is equivalent to 361.2 Mt of CO2 emissions over a 20-year period). The oil and gas sector accounted for 44% of Canada’s methane emissions in 2014, largely from oil and natural gas fugitive sources, including venting and flaring (42% of national total). 91% of these emissions are produced in Alberta and Saskatchewan. The remainder of Canada’s methane emissions is largely from agriculture and solid waste disposal (e.g. landfills). See figure 2 below for a more detailed breakdown of Canada’s methane emissions."]

["Methane (CH4) is a potent greenhouse gas that is roughly 30 times more harmful to the climate than carbon dioxide (CO2). Both gases are produced in thawing permafrost as dead animal and plant remains are decomposed. However, methane is only formed if no oxygen is available. Until now, it was assumed that larger amounts of greenhouse gases are formed when the ground was dry and well aerated—when oxygen was available. Christian Knoblauch and his colleagues have now demonstrated that water-saturated permafrost soils without oxygen can be twice as harmful to the climate as dry soils—which means the role of methane has been greatly underestimated. Read more at: https://phys.org/news/2018-03-permafrost-methane.html#jCp"]
CARBON EMISSIONS & RISING SEA LEVELS : UNDERSTANDING THE LINKS
["Since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution—about 1750—people have emitted roughly 600 billion tons of carbon into the atmosphere, resulting in an increase of roughly one degree (Celsius) in overall global temperature. The global pace today is 10 billion tons of carbon annually, which means we're on track to reach the 2-degree threshold in about 60 years. Read more at: https://phys.org/news/2018-07-carbon-emissions-limit-sea.html#jCp"]
