According to a report by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (Noaa), the concentration of methane in the Earth’s atmosphere increased by 17 parts per billion (ppb) in 2021. It also found that the largest annual increase recorded since the modern measurements began in 1983. The previous record of 15.3 ppb was set in 2020.
