Many studies have attributed a methane spike to soaring emissions from tropical wetlands, predominantly in Africa. “A ‘significant change’ in tropical weather ascribed to human-caused climate change has led wetlands to get bigger and more plants to grow there, thus leading to more decomposition — a process that produces methane.”
In Ireland, farmers may be forced to kill some of their livestock to meet government requirements:
Greenhouse gas emissions in Ireland’s agriculture industry must be reduced by 25 per cent by 2030. This is part of the country’s latest Climate Action Plan, which pledges to halve overall carbon emissions by 2030 and reach net zero by 2050.
Current initiatives to cut methane gas emissions from domestic livestock like cows and pigs by culling them, a potentially famine-inducing policy, fail to take into account the sheer volume of feral animals. For example, in Australia, “there is 10 times the number of feral pigs ... than domestic.”

Having experienced Wyoming winters, and Florida summers, I'd rather sweat in Florida than freeze in Wyoming.
In Northern Kalifornia they constructed a music venue on top of an old waste dump. The dump had been closed for many years. It was covered with green grass, and had settled significantly. So, the design of the venue is about 5,000 seats, with rolling grass being the farthest away. The seats are more expensive, the grass is just general admission. So........when the facility opened, people were smoking (cigarettes & who knows what else) in the grassy area. All of the refuse underneath had been decomposing for years. The methane flowed up, and little fires occurred in many spots. They had to close down and create/install a system to draw the methane away.
I imagine the folks that “smoke two joints in the morning” enjoyed the flames while they lasted.
