Two months after walking away from the Tombstone feud a free man, Johnny Ringo was found dead against a tree with a Colt in his hand. He had survived the Hoodoo War, jail breaks, and a showdown with Doc Holliday — but no one can agree on what finally killed him.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources): https://weirddarkness.com/JohnnyRingoREAD or DOWNLOAD the full transcript of this episode: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/24j5xybkFEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: A gentleman gunslinger who could quote Shakespeare, Johnny Ringo was a mythic gunslinger who died a mysterious death befitting his legend. (The Mysterious Death of Outlaw Johnny Ringo) *** To his family and neighbors, Richard Kuklinski was the all-American man. To the mafia and his victims, he was the "devil himself" known as the Iceman killer. (The Mafia's Most Prolific Hitman) *** Wherever tragedies happen, urban legends settle. And for almost every urban legend, there is a road to take you there… a road often just as terrifying as the urban legend it takes you to. (Roads that Lead to Urban Legends) *** We'll look at the true story of a bar bouncer accused of killing his wife… which is odd, seeing as the incident took place before he killed a man while defending her honor. (A Broad-Shouldered Bully Was Wiener) *** Extraterrestrials come in all shapes and sizes if you believe what you see on television, film, and even online in the fringe conversations of UFO enthusiasts. The most famous of the aliens are usually depicted in the very realistic, humanoid form… the Greys. But what exactly are the Greys? And is it possible they aren't extraterrestrial at all? (What Are The Greys) *** We'll meet a man who has an amazing superpower. He is especially proficient at passing gas.

Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: November, 2021This episode of Weird Darkness travels from a gunfighter's unexplained death under an Arizona oak tree to a mafia hitman's freezer, a tour of the world's most haunted highways, a St. Louis hanging, a British flatulence performer, and the enduring question of what the Grey aliens actually are.It opens with Johnny Ringo, the Shakespeare-quoting outlaw and cousin to the Younger and James brothers, who survived the Hoodoo War of Mason County, Texas, a jailbreak, multiple murder charges, and a near-shootout with Wyatt Earp and Doc Holliday on the streets of Tombstone — only to be found dead on July 13, 1882, slumped against a tree with a .45 caliber Colt in his right hand. The coroner called it suicide. Others pointed to the cartridges in his gun, the absence of powder burns, the odd position of his hat, and later confessions attributed to Earp himself, and called it murder. Biographers Jack Burrows and David Johnson weighed the same evidence a century later and sided with suicide, a quiet end for a man newspapers once misspelled into legend as "Ringgold."From there the episode moves to St. Louis in 1877, where Billy Wieners — a hulking bouncer at the Theatre Comique saloon, already out on bond for trying to kill his wife — shot assistant barkeeper A.V. Lawrence dead for insulting that same wife. The Missouri Supreme Court found nothing in the record to soften a verdict of deliberate murder, and after his sister Annie's commutation campaign failed to move Governor Phelps, Wieners hanged in the St. Louis jail yard on February 1, 1878, using his last words to warn other men away from whiskey.Next comes a road trip through the world's haunted highways: Zombie Road in Wildwood, Missouri; India's cursed Ranchi-Jamshedpur NH33, where 245 people died in three years and a woman in a white saree patrols the asphalt; South Africa's N9 with the hitchhiking ghost of Maria Roux; Australia's "Street With No Name" in Annandale; the werewolf sightings on Yorkshire's B1249; Malaysia's Karak Highway, where a creature was seen battering a husband's head against his own car roof; Scotland's A75 Kinmount Straight and its phantom animals; Long Island's Mount Misery and Sweet Hollow roads; the unearthed Hawaiian warrior bones beneath Oahu's H-1; Thailand's temple-haunting murdered wife on Chak Phra Road; and the ghosts scattered along old Route 66.The darkness deepens with Richard Kuklinski, the Gambino-affiliated contract killer known as the Iceman, who froze his victims' bodies in industrial freezers so the time of death could never be fixed. Convicted of six murders, he claimed hundreds, killing with cyanide nasal spray, ice picks, hand grenades, and his bare hands while coaching his children's barbecues and ushering Sunday Mass in suburban New Jersey. An ATF sting through his only friend, Phil Solimene, ended the run in 1986, and Kuklinski spent his remaining years giving prison interviews until his death in 2006 — a week after his wife Barbara declined, one last time, to lift the do-not-resuscitate order she had signed.The mood lifts with Paul Oldfield of Macclesfield, England, the performer called Mr. Methane, who discovered during a teenage yoga session that he could draw air into his colon at will and built a stage career on controlled flatulence — playing Phil Collins parodies, alarming Howard Stern, and logging 86 farts in a single minute for a 2018 Guinness World Records attempt, a talent the record book had refused to touch back in 1990.The episode closes among the Greys, the large-eyed, gray-skinned beings that dominate alien abduction reports from Betty and Barney Hill onward. Ufologists describe two castes — tall telepathic leaders and smaller cloned workers — originating in the Zeta Reticuli binary star system 38 light years away, harvesting human sperm and eggs to repair DNA ruined by generations of cloning. A rival theory holds that the Greys are not extraterrestrials at all but human beings from a distant future: taller, thinner, larger-brained time travelers returning to collect healthy genetic material from before whatever catastrophe awaits us.

Methane is invisible, odorless, and far more potent than CO2 in the short term, so how do you actually catch it leaking? Brendan Smith, CEO of SeekOps Inc., explains how technology built for the Mars Curiosity rover ended up flying on drones over oil and gas sites here on Earth. We get into spectrometers versus satellites, why offshore detection is so tricky, what EU methane rules mean for US operators in 2027, and how SeekOps turns an invisible gas into something you can finally see.Click here to watch a video of this episode.Join the conversation shaping the future of energy.Collide is the community where oil & gas professionals connect, share insights, and solve real-world problems together.

The latest analysis of wildfires shows that last year the UK recorded its highest burned area on record, including the country's first documented ‘megafire' in Scotland, that's a fire which covers more than 10,000 hectares. Researchers from the University of East Anglia led a team of international scientists looking into last year's fires round the globe, they say wildfires are getting more extreme, costly and disastrous. Though less land was affected, globally the fires resulted in more than 300,000 evacuations and the deaths of more than 90 people. .A three million pound project backed by DEFRA which has been looking at how methane emissions can be reduced in sheep has announced its findings. Various breeds from Scotland to the South Coast were tested as part of the research which gathered data from thirteen and a half thousand lambs. The scientists involved in the “Breed for Change” programme hope sheep farmers will use their data to reduce their carbon footprint.All week we're focusing on farming in the uplands, places above a thousand feet, landscapes like the Brecon Beacons, the Peak District, and the Highlands: many of the most stunning places in the country, but because of their geography they're generally harder places to farm. MPs on the Environment Food and Rural Affairs Committee are preparing a report on the challenges facing upland farmers in England and how the Government can best support them. It follows the publication of the Land Use Framework, which identified upland areas as places which could be most suitable for delivering climate and nature targets.Presenter = Charlotte Smith Producer = Rebecca Rooney

VOV1 - Viện Nghiên cứu Cao nguyên Thanh Tạng, Trung Quốc, ngày 21/5 công bố một nghiên cứu cho thấy hiện tượng nóng lên toàn cầu có thể làm gia tăng đáng kể phát thải methane từ các vùng đất ngập nước tự nhiên, qua đó tạo thêm sức ép đối với nỗ lực kiểm soát biến đổi khí hậu trên phạm vi toàn cầu.Theo thông tin được phía Trung Quốc công bố, nhóm nghiên cứu do các nhà khoa học Trương Trăn và Lý Tân phối hợp với các cộng sự quốc tế thực hiện đã lần đầu xây dựng được một khung đánh giá xác suất đối với mức gia tăng phát thải methane từ đất ngập nước trong tương lai. Trên cơ sở sử dụng mô hình hệ sinh thái trên cạn tiên tiến cùng dữ liệu quan trắc đất ngập nước toàn cầu, nghiên cứu đã định lượng khả năng xảy ra phản hồi methane từ đất ngập nước trong bối cảnh nhiệt độ Trái Đất tiếp tục tăng.Kết quả cho thấy, trong kịch bản phát thải cao, đến những năm 2030, lượng methane phát sinh thêm từ các vùng đất ngập nước tự nhiên có 90% khả năng sẽ làm giảm hiệu quả từ 8% đến 10% mục tiêu cắt giảm methane do con người đặt ra hiện nay trên toàn cầu. Xa hơn, đến cuối thế kỷ 21, lượng phát thải methane từ đất ngập nước có thể tăng thêm từ 50% đến 60% so với mức hiện tại.Methane là một trong những khí nhà kính quan trọng nhất, chỉ đứng sau CO2 về vai trò đối với biến đổi khí hậu. Tuy nhiên, trong khung thời gian 20 năm, tác động làm nóng của methane được đánh giá mạnh hơn hơn 80 lần so với CO2. Đây cũng là lý do khiến việc kiểm soát phát thải methane ngày càng trở thành một nội dung quan trọng trong các chính sách khí hậu quốc tế.Để đưa ra kết luận trên, nhóm nghiên cứu đã triển khai chương trình so sánh các mô hình methane đất ngập nước trong tương lai, tập hợp 7 mô hình chủ đạo trên thế giới. Kết quả mô phỏng cho thấy cứ mỗi khi nhiệt độ trung bình trên đất liền toàn cầu tăng thêm 1 độ C, lượng methane phát thải từ đất ngập nước có thể tăng trung bình từ 14 triệu đến 34 triệu tấn mỗi năm. Đáng chú ý, khoảng 68% lượng phát thải bổ sung trong tương lai được xác định sẽ đến từ các khu vực nhiệt đới.Các nhà khoa học cho rằng kết quả nghiên cứu cung cấp thêm cơ sở khoa học quan trọng cho việc hoạch định chính sách giảm phát thải methane và ứng phó với biến đổi khí hậu. Đồng thời, nghiên cứu cũng cho thấy nhu cầu cấp thiết phải mở rộng mạng lưới quan trắc dài hạn tại các khu vực nhiệt đới và vùng cao lạnh, kết hợp với công nghệ viễn thám vệ tinh thế hệ mới nhằm nâng cao năng lực giám sát, dự báo và ứng phó với những phản hồi khí hậu ngày càng phức tạp./.Trung Kiên/VOV Bắc KinhSơ đồ minh họa quá trình phát thải khí methane ở vùng đất ngập nước và các kỹ thuật quan sát được sử dụng trong nghiên cứu này.

Private companies and researchers at the University of California, Davis, are working with farmers to develop new ways to reduce methane emissions from cattle, and China and the U.S agreed to reduce tariffs on agricultural trade as part of a broader agreement.

Biomass waste is one of the largest unmanaged carbon flows, yet most climate solutions ignore it. This founder is turning landfills into carbon sinks using decentralized pyrolysis and biochar.Andrew Jones is the founder and CEO of Carba, a waste-to-value company converting biomass into permanent carbon removal. He studied catalytic fast pyrolysis and earned a PhD in chemical engineering from the University of California, Berkeley.Carba builds modular, decentralized systems that process biomass waste near aggregation points, producing biochar for landfill burial, methane reduction, and potential industrial uses.Here's what we discussed:Site strategy that actually works – Targeting 10k–100k ton/year biomass hubs co-located with landfills to eliminate transport cost and preserve unit economicsLandfill use case, not theory – Biochar used as daily cover to (1) store carbon underground, (2) stimulate methanotrophs that oxidize methane, and (3) adsorb PFAS and other contaminantsReactor advantage – Custom molten-salt pyrolysis system vs rotary kilns, enabling tighter temperature control, higher carbon yield, and more consistent biochar quality at throughputCarbon permanence bet – Converting cellulose/lignin into stable aromatic carbon structures that resist microbial decay, especially in anaerobic landfill conditionsRevenue stack reality – Tipping fees exist but small; real upside is durable carbon credits, with optionality in steel, concrete, asphalt, tires, and filtration depending on local demand--Join our confidential CEO community.Private CEO group for VC/PE-backed climate tech founders navigating capital, strategy, and scale.

Episode 370 The melting ice caps are accelerating global warming and contributing to sea level rise, but could also contribute to a different kind of climate catastrophe. The melting may cause massive amounts of frozen methane to bubble up into the atmosphere. It happened thousands of years ago - and scientists are concerned it's about to happen again. Methane is a greenhouse gas which is 86 times more potent than CO2. Some estimates suggest this frozen methane - methane hydrates - contain twice as much warming potential as all the coal, oil and gas on Earth. Scientists have now discovered a new way for methane in Greenland to be unleashed. It's not a threat that has been taken seriously as the evidence has been inconclusive. But perhaps it's time for us to take notice? Rowan Hooper and Penny Sarchet are joined by New Scientist's Alec Luhn to discuss the news.

The EU's methane emissions framework has drawn pushback from major gas producers and industry groups, warning that critical implementation details remain undefined even as a key 2027 regulatory deadline looms. In this episode of Energy Evolution, host Eklavya Gupte asks whether Europe's methane regulation will set a new global standard for climate accountability or trigger an energy crisis by impacting long-term contracts and reshaping global gas trade flows. Desmond Wong, global lead for low-carbon gas pricing at Platts, part of S&P Global Energy, interviews two experts on the legislation's far-reaching implications. First, Doug Wood, gas committee chair at Energy Traders Europe, explains the commercial realities facing importers: unclear penalties, missing verification standards, and the regulatory gaps that could prevent companies from signing new supply deals. The conversation then turns to Max Mucenic, senior principal emissions analyst at S&P Global Energy Horizons, who breaks down the technical challenge of measuring methane across complex supply chains and discusses why wide variations could determine which suppliers win or lose access to European markets.

A cow's digestive system is extremely complex, and certain feeds and forages can produce significant methane when digested. UNL Rumen Microbiologist Samodah Fernando says that complexity is central to a cow's performance and energy, and reducing methane during this process is very difficult.

For most marine life, methane seeps are nasty. Toxic compounds bubble into the ocean from below the sea floor. But life always seems to find a way. Microscopic organisms thrive on the noxious brew. They feed a vibrant ecosystem. And research in recent years has found that the population includes fish that are popular on human dinner plates. Methane seeps occur where pockets of methane create mounds on the ocean floor. Cracks and pores allow some of the gas to escape. Microbes feed on the gas. Larger organisms eat the microbes and so on, building a complex food web. Among the main creatures around the seeps are tubeworms, which can form dense beds. And surveys have found several commercially important fish living in or near the beds. That includes a type of rockfish off the West Coast of the United States, and Chilean seabass off the Pacific coast of South America. The most recent addition is the red cusk eel. It's not an actual eel, but it's long and skinny like an eel. It's popular in Chilean markets and restaurants. Fishers took more than 2,000 tons of the cusk eel in 2022.             An expedition in late 2024 found a large population of the fish at a seep about 10 miles off the coast of Chile. The fish were nestled in a large bed of tubeworms. They might have been using the beds to hide from predators. Or they might have been getting some grooming from snow crabs there. Whatever the reason, the fish were doing just fine in this nasty environment. The post ‘Seeping' Fish appeared first on Marine Science Institute. The University of Texas at Austin..

Measuring methane produced from cattle is a challenging process. The methods and tools utilized are discussed.

Some microscopic organisms can live just about anywhere. They can survive extreme temperatures and pressures, total darkness, and environments that are infused with nasty chemicals. Some of them produce methane, which can have a big impact on the climate. And they can tell us a lot about the development of life. Examples include two species recently found in the Pacific Ocean. They're types of archaea—descendants of some of the oldest life on Earth. The research team was led by a marine scientist at the University of Texas. The team examined sediments drilled from hundreds of feet below the sea floor. The deepest sediments were 1.7 million years old. The researchers studied the chemistry of the sediments, and they used genetics technology to suss out the types of organisms. The archaea survive by eating ancient organic matter in the sediments. They produce methane. In fact, much of the world's methane has been made by similar organisms. Methane can form pockets below the ocean floor. The methane can seep out and bubble to the surface. It's a potent greenhouse gas that traps heat, so once it's in the atmosphere it can cause major climate changes. Studying these organisms can tell us more about how and where methane is produced, and about possible future climate impacts. Similar environments might exist on some of the moons in our own solar system. So a better understanding of the archaea on Earth could help us find signs of life on other worlds.

The University of Nebraska is examining factors that impact methane production from cattle. This research includes the microbial population in the rumen, inoculation of the rumen environment early in an animal's life, diet and cattle genetics.

Warnings of fresh food price rises as war continues to disrupt Australia's supply of fuel and fertiliser, young scholarship winners announced at the South Australian Sheep Expo, and research examines the impact of feeding methane-reducing supplements to pregnant & lactating cows.

Did you know that cows emit methane when they burp? Livestock account for over 12% of the world's greenhouse gas emissions, but farmers and scientists have discovered a superfood that might be the key to lower emissions—and raise healthier cows. In this episode, Ryan and Anjali investigate the mystery of Asparagopsis, a seaweed variety that removes methane from the guts of the animals who eat it. The catch? There are only nine licensed growers in the world. Ryan and Anjali are joined by three experts to talk about the science behind this amazing plant, the benefits we're already seeing from the animals who eat it, and the next steps for scaling up its use by farmers around the world.

This “Follower Friday” special features a series of live interviews from the BCarbon conference in Houston, Texas. The episode focuses on the legal, technological, and logistical hurdles of the methane abatement market, specifically regarding plugging abandoned and orphaned oil/gas wells to generate high-fidelity carbon credits. Key Takeaways Legal Complexity: The industry is currently navigating a maze of mineral leases and access rights that vary significantly between states like Texas, Oklahoma, and Ohio. The “Wild West” Market: The methane abatement credit market lacks a single unified path, leading BCarbon to step in and establish standardized protocols. Monitoring Challenges: A major hurdle for carbon credit buyers is ensuring a well stays plugged for 10–20 years. New infrastructure is being developed to concentrate and detect minute leaks in remote areas. Supply vs. Demand: While there is a surge of credit developers (the “suppliers”), there is currently a lag in the number of active buyers in the room, creating a unique market tension. Featured Guests Grant Gibson     Founder & CEO      Ironwood Development Mark Mersman   Founder & CEO      Cordonica Clint Boman       Director of Safety     Leader Foundation     We want to extend a huge thank you to BCarbon for allowing The Green Insider to join them in Houston.

Methane is one of the most powerful - and overlooked - drivers of climate change. In this episode of 50 Shades of Green, we sit down with Ken Alex, former senior policy advisor to California Governor Jerry Brown and current leader at UC Berkeley's Center for Law, Energy and the Environment (CLEE), to explore why methane reduction is one of the fastest ways to slow global warming.Ken shares how his work on international and subnational climate policy led to the creation of the Subnational Methane Action Coalition (SMAC), a global partnership of state and regional governments working to cut methane emissions across key sectors like oil and gas, agriculture, landfills, and waste. We discuss why methane is up to 80 times more potent than CO₂ in the short term, how satellite monitoring and data innovation are transforming accountability, and why states and local governments are uniquely positioned to deliver real, near-term climate results.From reducing food waste and fixing methane leaks to deploying low‑cost solutions like landfill bio‑covers, this conversation highlights practical, scalable strategies that can make an immediate impact. If you want to understand why methane matters, and how policy, technology, and collaboration can drive rapid climate progress - this episode is for you. Hosted on Acast.

Introduction to the Solution Methane is one of the most powerful drivers of near-term global warming, and also one of the fastest opportunities to slow it down. In this episode of Climate Break, we explore how a global network of states and provinces is working together to reduce methane emissions through shared knowledge, technical assistance, and peer learning. Ethan Elkind speaks with Shivani Shukla, a methane research fellow at UC Berkeley, about the Subnational Methane Action Coalition (SMAC) and how subnational governments can play an outsized role in addressing this urgent climate pollutant.   Why Methane Matters Methane is a colorless, odorless gas responsible for nearly one-third of current global warming. Over a 20-year period, methane traps roughly 80 times more heat per molecule than carbon dioxide. Its climate impact is further amplified by the way it contributes to the formation of tropospheric ozone and adds water vapor to the stratosphere, increasing its overall warming effect. Unlike carbon dioxide, methane comes from a relatively limited set of sources. Major contributors include landfills and wastewater facilities, agriculture (particularly livestock digestion and rice cultivation), and fossil fuel systems such as oil, gas, and coal operations. Because these sources are concentrated and well understood, methane reductions are often technically feasible and cost-effective, especially when captured methane can be repurposed as fuel.   The Subnational Methane Action Coalition (SMAC) Launched at COP28 in 2023, the Subnational Methane Action Coalition is a global network of state and provincial governments working to reduce methane emissions. SMAC began with 15 founding members, spearheaded by California, and has since expanded to include dozens of subnational governments and observers worldwide. SMAC is supported by researchers at UC Berkeley's Center for Law, Energy & the Environment, which provides participating governments with technical assistance on methane inventories, policy design, and action planning. The coalition also connects members with experts, data partners, and peer jurisdictions that have implemented successful methane reduction strategies. Climate policy is often designed and implemented at the national level, but states and provinces frequently have direct jurisdiction over major methane sources, including waste management, agriculture, and energy infrastructure. Subnational governments are therefore uniquely positioned to pilot solutions that can later be scaled nationally or replicated elsewhere. Through SMAC's peer network, members can share lessons learned, adapt policies to their regional contexts, and avoid duplicating efforts. A state that has developed an effective approach to reducing agricultural methane, for example, can share that model with other regions facing similar challenges.   Upsides to SMAC One of SMAC's key strengths is its emphasis on capacity-building. Many subnational governments (particularly those with limited resources) lack the technical expertise or staffing needed to design and implement methane mitigation programs. SMAC addresses this gap by offering tailored technical support, expert-led webinars, and communities of practice focused on specific methane sources. Methane mitigation also offers strong near-term climate benefits. Because methane dissipates from the atmosphere more quickly than carbon dioxide, reducing emissions can slow warming almost immediately. In many cases, methane solutions are relatively low-cost and non-repetitive, involving infrastructure upgrades or operational changes rather than ongoing behavioral shifts by individuals.   Challenges in SMAC Despite its promise, SMAC faces several challenges. Political turnover can disrupt momentum, as changes in leadership may shift climate priorities or reduce ambition. Sustained funding is another barrier, particularly for jurisdictions that need upfront investment to implement methane reduction technologies. There is also an important broader critique: focusing heavily on methane should not come at the expense of long-term carbon dioxide reductions. While methane mitigation is a powerful short-term strategy, CO₂ remains in the atmosphere far longer and continues to drive warming over centuries. SMAC does not frame methane reduction as a replacement for CO₂ action, but rather as a complementary strategy within a broader climate portfolio.   Shukla's Take Shivani Shukla emphasizes that SMAC is fundamentally about collaboration and shared learning. By connecting subnational governments across regions and sectors, the coalition helps members overcome technical and capacity constraints while fostering leadership on methane mitigation. She also highlights the global nature of methane pollution and the importance of cross-border cooperation to address it effectively.   About Our Guest Shivani Shukla is a Research Fellow in the Project Climate program at UC Berkeley Law's Center for Law, Energy and the Environment (CLEE). Shivani co-leads the Subnational Methane Action Coalition, where she focuses on climate and environmental policies, particularly on methane and natural resources at the subnational level. Prior to joining CLEE, Shivani was a two-time EDF Climate Corps Fellow and conducted interdisciplinary climate policy research across academia, private and public sectors in the U.S.A., Ireland and India. Shivani graduated from the MPP program at the University of Chicago and a Masters in Applied Economics from University College Dublin.

Cattle in regenerative farm systems deliver remarkable ecological value at the same time as producing food and fibre. In this programme, we focus on methane and hydroxyl radicals - the highly reactive molecules that wash methane out of the sky, dismantling it back into its constituent parts of carbon and hydrogen.We talk about where hydroxyl radicals come from, and why, in well-hydrated regenerative pastures there are more of them - meaning that they can work more rapidly to break down the methane produced by the grazing cattle present in those managed ecosystems.To take us through the science, I'm joined by the blogger known on X as @Regenetarianism. Stephen shuns the spotlight and speaks publicly only extremely rarely. He isn't an academic, but he is someone that high level academics turn to for insight on these subjects, because his knowledge is so deep and broad following a great many years of research, synthesising knowledge from hundreds of peer-reviewed papers that address methane's physical and chemical processes, and working to understand them in the context of ruminant agriculture. Stephen has kindly written a referenced blog to accompany this podcast. It's called - On hydroxyl radicals and increasing the atmospheric oxidation capacity: key points and an outline. The blog can be found at lachefs.net.Direct link: https://lachefnet.wordpress.com/2026/02/15/on-hydroxyl-radicals-increasing-the-atmospheric-oxidation-capacity-key-points-an-outline/

Methane gas is the shortest lived, but most potent greenhouse gas. We hear from those who say reining in methane is needed to protect the climate and the health of Albertans. And we hear how a looming agreement on methane emissions in that province could make a big difference to Canada's climate goals.

Recommendations for identification and selection of bioactive compounds to develop antimethanogenic feed additives. Dr. Yáñez-Ruiz (8:23) How can we search for molecules that modify how feed is fermented in the rumen? Conventionally, we have used scientific literature to look for plant extracts and compounds that have been researched before. Now, we have computational technology that offers opportunities to model how molecules interact with rumen microbes. Once a candidate compound is selected, in vitro tools can be used to test dose responses before animal experiments.  Recommendations for testing enteric methane-mitigating feed additives in ruminant studies. Dr. Yáñez-Ruiz for Dr. Alexander Hristov (17:07) Once compounds have been identified and selected, they need to be tested in the animal. These experiments are costly and best practices for experimental design, animals used, diets fed, delivery of the test compound, and measurement of methane should be followed. Some of these guidelines are strongly linked to the regulatory aspects that provide requirements for how in vivo trials need to be conducted.  Feed additives for methane mitigation: Modeling the impact of feed additives on enteric methane emission of ruminants—Approaches and recommendations. Dr. Bannink (22:43) Once experimental data is collected, it can be used to develop models to predict how effective an additive is, how it works, and its relevance. The intention is to quantify how an additive will work if you feed it to an animal. This can be complex due to variation among different datasets and natural fluctuation in methane production in the animal. One factor that plays a big role in the effectiveness of additives is the type of diet that animals are fed.  A guideline to uncover the mode of action of antimethanogenic feed additives for ruminants. Dr. Belanche (30:03) Understanding the mechanism of action for methane mitigants is challenging. We know some compounds work to reduce methane, but we don't know how or why they are working. There are five main types of additives when grouped by mode of action: modify rumen fermentation to decrease hydrogen production; methane inhibitors that act specifically against methanogens; inhibit enzymes common to all methanogens; hydrogen sinks to redirect hydrogen away from methanogenesis and toward other metabolic pathways; and promote methanotrophs that oxidize methane. The most effective are methane inhibitors, which decrease methane but don't increase animal productivity. Combining a methane inhibitor with a hydrogen sink may help redirect hydrogen and result in improved animal productivity. Regulations and evidence requirements for the authorization of enteric methane-mitigating feed additives. Dr. Tricarico (41:22) There are as many regulatory systems as there are jurisdictions. Two concepts that are shared across jurisdictions are regulatory status/legal classification and intended use. While each jurisdiction requires some legal classification of a feed additive compound, each has a different criteria base from which they classify products. For example, “inhibitor” is a legal classification in New Zealand, but doesn't even exist in other jurisdictions. Sometimes, the same word may mean different things in different jurisdictions. Authorization of a compound is not a blanket authorization, it is an authorization of the intended use of the compound. This specificity is critical for all involved to understand. Feed additives for methane mitigation: How to account for the mitigating potential of antimethanogenic feed additives—Approaches and recommendations. Dr. del Prado (49:42) A major challenge in this area is what kind of accounting system will be used: farm level, lifecycle analysis, carbon markets, national greenhouse gas inventories, etc. An accounting system needs to be well tailored from the type of experimental data available to the complexity used on the scale of the method. Experimental data, modeling, and accounting move hand-in-hand.  Panelists share their take-home thoughts.

Six years ago, as countries around the world went into COVID lockdowns, the air got cleaner. Factories slowed down, roads emptied and aeroplanes were grounded. As people stayed home, the world burned fewer fossil fuels and so carbon dioxide emissions dropped.But something else was also happening in the atmosphere. Levels of methane, an extremely potent greenhouse gas that warms the planet even faster than CO2, rose faster in 2020 than at any point since records began in the 1980s. And methane levels kept on rising during 2021 and 2022.Ever since, scientists have been trying to piece together what caused this sudden mysterious increase in methane. Now, they think they have the answer – and it was partly due to COVID lockdowns.In this episode, we speak to Philippe Ciais, a researcher at the Laboratory for Environmental and Climate Science at Université Paris-Saclay in France, and one of the authors of a new study in the journal Science about the spike in methane levels, who explains how they solved the mystery.This episode was written and produced by Mend Mariwany and Katie Flood and Gemma Ware was the executive producer.

Welcome to this week's Follower Friday episode of The Green Insider. The podcast features an in‑depth conversation with Eric Unverzagt, Chief Executive Officer of BCarbon, a Houston‑based non‑profit carbon registry and research center focused on advancing credible solutions within the voluntary carbon market. During the interview, Unverzagt outlines BCarbon's mission to develop scientifically rigorous and transparent methodologies that support high‑quality carbon credits while delivering measurable environmental benefits. Unverzagt explains that BCarbon has established four core carbon credit protocols designed to address different forms of carbon reduction and sequestration. These include soil carbon sequestration, forestry projects, living shorelines, and methane mitigation through the plugging of abandoned and orphaned oil and gas wells. Together, these protocols reflect BCarbon's emphasis on nature‑based and emission-reduction strategies that are both environmentally impactful and economically viable. A significant portion of the discussion centers on methane mitigation, which Unverzagt highlights as an especially effective approach due to methane's potency as a greenhouse gas. By supporting well‑plugging projects, BCarbon aims to reduce emissions that would otherwise escape into the atmosphere while simultaneously creating opportunities for land restoration and local economic activity. This work positions methane mitigation as a practical bridge between environmental responsibility and market‑driven solutions. The interview also previews BCarbon's upcoming methane‑focused conference, scheduled for March 11–12 at the Greater Houston Partnership facility. The event is designed to convene a diverse group of stakeholders from across the carbon and energy ecosystems, including carbon credit buyers, project developers, policy and market experts, and technical specialists involved in methane plugging initiatives. According to Unverzagt, the conference will serve both an educational and collaborative purpose. Attendees will gain insights into the environmental and economic value of methane mitigation projects, as well as a clearer understanding of how carbon credits function within the voluntary market. Just as importantly, the event is intended to foster meaningful connections among participants, encouraging partnerships that can accelerate adoption of sustainable practices and expand the impact of methane reduction efforts. Overall, the podcast underscores BCarbon's role in shaping standards for high‑integrity carbon credits while highlighting methane mitigation as a key opportunity for climate action. Through research, protocol development, and industry convenings such as the upcoming conference, BCarbon seeks to strengthen trust, transparency, and collaboration within the voluntary carbon market.

Can cutting methane leaks help fuel the rising energy demand from AI data centers? On this episode of the ESG Currents podcast, Carl Pope, former Sierra Club executive director, and Last Mile Production CEO Zach Wagner join BI climate analyst Andrew Stevenson to discuss how leaking and vented methane has the potential to help meet Texas’ surging power demand. Methane leaks are a major source of greenhouse gas emissions, and capturing that lost gas could help ease rising US natural gas costs.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

If you stepped off a spacecraft onto the surface of Titan, you might experience a little dŽjˆ vu. Saturn’s largest moon has many of the same features as Earth. That includes rivers and seas, clouds, and even rainfall – it’s the only world in the solar system other than Earth with bodies of liquid on its surface. What wouldn’t seem familiar is the temperature – almost 300 degrees below zero Fahrenheit. In that icebox, water is frozen as hard as granite. So Titan’s rivers and seas and clouds are made of liquid methane and ethane. Titan is a large world – about half-again the diameter of our moon. And it has the densest atmosphere of any moon in the solar system; the surface pressure is equivalent to a depth of 50 feet in Earth’s oceans. The methane and ethane are quickly broken apart by sunlight, so the supply in the air has to be renewed. The most likely source is cryo-volcanoes – volcanoes that belch frozen water. Methane mixed with the water would waft into the atmosphere. The volcanoes could be fed by an ocean of liquid water below the surface – perhaps much more water than in all of Earth’s oceans combined. Both the ocean and the liquid bodies on the surface are possible homes for microscopic life – one more similarity to our own world. Saturn looks like a bright star near the Moon this evening. Through good binoculars or a small telescope, Titan looks like a tiny star quite near the planet. Script by Damond Benningfield

The University of Nebraska has received a signficant grant to conduct fundamental research on energy use in cattle, examining diet, genetics and rumen microorganisms and how those interact with each other to impact methane emissions in cattle.

The U.S. has been drilling for oil and gas for more than 160 years, and what to do with those wells once they are no longer productive has long been an issue, as they can also be significant emitters of methane, a major greenhouse gas. Today, we discuss a new approach that aims to address both issues.

This is deep dive into common misconceptions about red meat, methane emissions from cows, and the feasibility of transitioning to grass-fed beef production. We discuss the health impacts of red meat based on the cow's diet, the actual environmental effects of methane from ruminants, and busts myths surrounding CAFO operations and land use. Cows. Methane. Climate.The debate is louder than ever — and still full of myths.That why, after recording a podcast on why building a $100B home for regenerative brands is key, with Martin Reiter, we went for a Meat MythBusters episode in which we unpack some uncomfortable truths that rarely make it into headlines:
