In that case, it would stay in the atmosphere longer.<br /><br />Also, a very large, concentrated release could mean that the methane does not mix as thoroughly in the troposphere and floats up to the stratosphere. There it could react with ozone, with many other nasty consequences.<br /><br />Caveat--I am not a chemist, much less an atmospheric chemist; I am just repeating from (not always reliable) memory what I have read here and there. <br /><br />Thanks for this post on this important topic.<br /><br />wiliAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
