Methane cuts critical to meet 'well-below 2C' climate target

An analysis argues that aggressive methane emission reductions are essential to keep global warming 'well-below' 2°C, as methane is the second-largest contributor to warming after CO2. The piece underscores the urgency of near-term methane action to complement CO2 cuts, though it is an opinion/analysis piece rather than a new scientific finding. This matters because it reinforces the policy case for methane-specific regulations ahead of upcoming climate negotiations.
