AMIDST the global urgency to combat climate change, Malaysia stands at the crossroads. The question looms: Is achieving zero-tolerance towards methane emissions a realistic goal for the nation?
Methane, a gas you can’t see or smell, is a major contributor to global warming. It’s responsible for nearly half of the one-degree increase in Earth’s average temperature since the industrial age began.
Cutting down methane emissions is seen as the most effective strategy to reduce warming shortly, with major sources being the oil and gas industry, palm oil, and agriculture industries within Malaysia.
