Methane is produced from rice paddies, bovine flatulence, bacteria in bogs and fossil fuel production. It is considered 20 times as effective in trapping the heat in the atmosphere as carbon dioxide. US studies indicated that the level of methane in the atmosphere has increased up to 145% in the past 100 years, which is a very big increase, and is helping in trapping more heat. When fields are flooded, then plants grow, CH4 is released to the atmosphere, which is a result of decomposition of the soil.
