Indian methane emissions

Anita Ganesan’s paper on Indian methane emissions has been published in Nature Communications “Atmospheric observations show accurate reporting and little growth in India’s methane emissions“. As described in a University of Bristol news article, we used satellite data from GOSAT, combined with new measurements made in India, to show that India’s emissions hadn’t changed significantly in between 2010 and 2015. Furthermore, our estimates agree very well with India’s reports to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).
