Methane leaks from energy, cows, and wetlands

CH₄ warms fast over decades. Fossil fuel operations, livestock, and rice paddies top human-linked sources.

Climate grids hide gigatonnes behind identical squares — the gradient is political once you see the cell count. This grid divides human-linked methane emissions (2026 snapshot) into colored bands — Fossil fuel sector, Agriculture (incl. livestock), and Waste + other — using equal squares so you compare shares, not country size on a map.

1 cell = 0.1 percent of anthropogenic methane (0.1% of human-linked methane emissions) · 1,000 cells
