Observations and models reveal precipitation and temperature linked to 13% of emissions from these sites
Temperature and rainfall fluctuations are responsible for 13% of methane emissions at one of the largest landfill sites in the world, a new study has found . The researchers say that their models show that in a changing climate with more extreme weather, methane emissions from landfills will increase even more, amplifying global warming.
