The South Pacific blast may have consumed its own methane — but using this idea against the greenhouse gas is controversial.

Methane's part in the climate crisis remains largely overlooked, even though it is responsible for 30 percent of all global warming to date, and despite the fact that it's still possible to purge it from our skies.

When the Hunga Tonga–Hunga Haʻapai volcano erupted, it shot huge amounts of methane and debris into the air, then something weird happened.

A volcanic eruption in the South Pacific cleaned up its own methane pollution, offering a potential mechanism for removing this potent greenhouse gas from the atmosphere.

A colossal underwater volcano in the South Pacific may have revealed a surprising new weapon against climate change. After the 2022 eruption of Hunga Tonga–Hunga Ha’apai, scientists detected enormous amounts of formaldehyde in the atmosphere — a telltale…

“The history is always sketchy,” said Rich Beal, a Mongolia-based guide for Koryo Tours who, by his count, has visited the site 30 times. “Nobody quite knows.”

Committee flags odour and pollution concerns at Kanjurmarg, which processes 86% of Mumbai’s daily waste; recommends AQI monitors, green buffer zones and waste-to-energy facilities.

An IEA report found that the fossil fuel industry leaked 124 million metric tons of methane last year, wasting a valuable fuel commodity.
