Methane Feedback

Methane Feedback is a climate feedback mechanism in which increased atmospheric methane concentrations, primarily from natural sources such as thawing permafrost and wetlands, amplify global warming by enhancing the greenhouse effect, thereby triggering further methane emissions in a self-reinforcing cycle.
