A volcanic eruption accelerated the breakdown of methane in the atmosphere.
The eruption of the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai volcano in 2022 allowed scientists to observe, for the first time, the accelerated breakdown of methane in the atmosphere caused by the interaction of volcanic ash, seawater, and sunlight. This discovery could contribute to the development of new methods for reducing methane levels and slowing global warming, though further research is needed to assess potential consequences.
