Air pollution modulates trends and variability of the global methane budget

Nature, Published online: 28 May 2025; doi:10.1038/s41586-025-09004-zAn integrated observation-driven and model-driven approach demonstrates that, from 2005 to 2021, periods of high atmospheric methane growth were linked to trends and variations in OH levels driven by fluctuations in air pollutants, especially during extreme events.
