Methane a Greenhouse Gas Time Bomb
Methane is a more powerful global warming agent than CO2. In addition to man-made methane levels, rising levels of CO2 could release vast amounts of natural methane.

Cassini Meets The Ringed Lord
After a 7 year journey featuring safety concerns and controversy, and a spectacular December 2000 Jupiter flyby teaming up with the earlier Galileo probe, Cassini is entering the real business phase. To orbit Saturn for a minimum of 4 years. The European Space Agency's Huygens probe will for its part plunge into Titan's methane haze to reveal the moon's surface enigmas.

Irish Scientists Aim to Knock Wind Out of Greenhouse Effect
"...their next goal will be to reduce levels of methane emission. Which should be quite a simple thing to do, actually. Apart from cutting out the onion soup and baked beans, they simply need to ensure that the cattle and sheep avoid curry, three-alarm (or stronger) chilli, and pints of Guinness. Well, it works for me."
