Climate Solution? Converting methane to carbon dioxide

Rob Jackson releases a study, published in Nature Sustainability, which proposes a new initative to convert methane to carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. 

“We should be putting the same thought and study into removing methane as we are for carbon dioxide. My goal is to restore the atmosphere, which is a more powerful goal than stabilizing temperatures.”--Rob Jackson to Inverse. The paper received coverage in  dozens of news outlets. See our write-up and a selection of media coverage below:
