Enhanced atmospheric oxidation toward carbon neutrality reduces methane’s climate forcing

Abstract The hydroxyl radical (OH), as the central atmospheric oxidant, controls the removal rates of methane, a powerful greenhouse gas. It is being suggested that OH levels would decrease with reductions of nitrogen oxides and ozone levels by climate polices, but this remains unsettled. Here, we s...
