On July 24 of this year, 2024, the iconic Nature magazine publish a new research study which found that all trees absorb methane.
This applies to northern evergreens, broad leaf deciduous trees everywhere and even more so in the Amazon rain forest and hot and humid jungles of the planet.
The microbes that live on tree bark and in wood require methane to survive.
Consequently, according to this multi-year mega study, tree bark is an enormous methane sink that Climate Change experts have not taken into account in their atmospheric methane gas projections.
Tree bark, or the microbes that live on bark and inside wood, absorb huge amounts of methane -- equal to the amount that soil microbes do.
And soil is the 2nd largest CH4 sink![i]
So, soon, new models and an updated and corrected methane atmosphere budget projections will need to be created>: to match the reality that has long been missed.
In short, when including trees as a sink there is no methane atmosphere crisis.
It has been a delusion.
The planet, Gaia, is far more resourceful and resilient.
