the greenhouse effect Carbon Dioxide
• Methane is a potent greenhouse gas – over a period of 20 Methane
years it has an effect on warming the atmosphere that is Water Vapour
about 72 times greater than carbon dioxide Weather
• Main sources of methane are from the decay of organic
materials by some kinds of bacteria and from the digestive Climate
system of ruminant herbivores
• It naturally breaks down high in the atmosphere in a series
of reactions that eventually form carbon dioxide and
water molecules
• Methane levels have risen by about 150% since 1750 for What you need to
several reasons know
• Rice paddy fields are waterlogged during much of the
time the rice is growing, which means bacteria in this
soil release methane as they grow
• A growing population has increased demand for food
and so more rice and cattle are being grown/bred
resulting in increased methane production
