Global annual methane emission rate derived from its current atmospheric mixing ratio and estimated lifetime

We use the estimated lifetime of methane (CH<sub>4</sub>), the current methane concentration, and its annual growth rate to calculate the global methane emission rate. The upper and lower limits of the annual global methane emission rate, depending on loss of CH<sub>4</sub>...
