热带湿地的甲烷排放创纪录威胁到全球气候目标。 Record methane emissions from tropical wetlands threaten global climate targets.
热带湿地,特别是刚果、东南亚和亚马孙的热带湿地,排放的甲烷数量创纪录,是一种强大的温室气体。 Tropical wetlands, especially in the Congo, Southeast Asia, and the Amazon, are emitting record levels of methane, a potent greenhouse gas. 气温上升和暴雨加速了这些湿地的生物过程,造成甲烷排放量猛增,速度比以往任何时候都快。 Rising temperatures and heavy rains are accelerating biological processes in these wetlands, causing methane emissions to soar faster than ever before. 这一趋势威胁到《巴黎气候协定》确定的全球气候目标,可能要求政府采取更有力的行动,将升温限制在1.5摄氏度。 This trend threatens global climate goals set by the Paris climate accord, potentially requiring stronger government action to limit warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius.
