#Methane is responsible for around 30% of current global warming — but cutting it could help slow warming relatively quickly. As policy-makers, business leaders and civil society gather under France’s G7 presidency to discuss methane reduction, more than 250 scientists have issued a 10-point plan to accelerate action. weforum.org/stories/2026/0…

Everyone wants a more sustainable food system that helps meet climate goals, but most ppl rarely hear directly from the ppl doing the work. That's exactly we, along with our co-hosts, @sparkclimate, @ucdavisCAES & @CDFAnews, are convening the 2026 State of the Science Summit. 1/

It's #TimeforCH4nge methane250.org/angera-declara…

Methane, a potent greenhouse gas, was discovered 250 years ago near Angera, Italy. Experts are gathering near the site of that discovery to help shape methane’s future. This week, 250 scientists released the Angera Declaration: a 10-point plan to accelerate methane action.

What do 250 scientists from dozens of countries and disciplines all agree on? That cutting methane is one of the best tools we have to slow warming That we can and should move much faster on methane action And that we have a plan to do just that

Explore methane’s history and the opportunity to cut it now. From a curious discovery in marshes to one of the biggest opportunities to slow climate change today. The science is clear. The solutions exist. The window to act is now. It’s #TimeForCH4nge 🔗 methane250.org @EnvDefenseEuro, @sparkclimate, @EU_Commission, @ccacoalition, @IGSD_DC, @methanedata, @gcarbonproject, @UNEP

So, what's actually working on-farm, what's scalable, and what's next? Find out on June 16, 17 & 18 at @ucdavis. You'll want a seat at this one. Summit organizers: @UCDavisCLEAR, @sparkclimate, @ucdavisCAES, and @CDFAnews. 2/

250 years after the discovery of methane, we know the solution: cut methane now. #TimeForCH4nge 🎙️ Right ahead of the Methane Action for People & Planet: From Discovery to Solutions conference, in this episode of Super Pollutants Gossips, @CavalieriSandra and @avabahramii speak with: • Steven Hamburg, Chief Scientist, @EnvDefenseFund • Ben Poulter, Senior Scientist, Greenhouse Gas Feedbacks, @sparkclimate • Greet Maenhout, Deputy Director, Sustainable Resources Directorate & Head of the Land and Climate Unit, @EU_Commission Joint Research Centre Learn more about the conference: methane250.org Discover your methane circle and join the movement: timeforch4nge.org @EnvDefenseEuro, @MethaneData, @IGSD_DC

That possibility is one motivation for Spark’s work to accelerate the assessment of the viability of atmospheric methane removal to inform the climate solutions portfolio. news.mit.edu/2026/complicat…

The implications of this and future research into this topic could be significant. If methane breaks down more slowly, it will remain in the atmosphere longer, which means: higher methane concentrations and even more warming.

New research from @MIT's Qindan Zhu and Arlene Fiore—supported in part by Spark—explores how climate change could alter the chemistry that removes methane from the atmosphere.

On this week's episode of the K-State Regen Ag Podcast, we spoke with Dr. Maria Bowman, currently of @sparkclimate, about a report she co-authored while at USDA-ERS on the profitability of soil health practices. Spotify - open.spotify.com/episode/54k1ps… YouTube- youtu.be/A9J09tbOCsg

📣Methane causes ~30% of global warming, and even with emissions reductions, a gap will remain by 2050. Biological methane removal (bioMR) is one of the most promising frontiers for closing that gap. With @sparkclimate, we convened 30 experts to map the highest-leverage research opportunities, resulting in 22 problem statements. #ClimateBiotech #BioMethaneRemoval homeworld.bio/blog/homeworld…

The Endangerment Finding—a key pillar of U.S. climate policy—is on the chopping block. New DOE emails show the report used to justify repeal was deeply flawed and shaped to support a predetermined outcome. New piece by Spark's Phil Duffy for @UCSUSA : blog.ucs.org/science-blogge…
