Methane—the potent molecule we use to heat our homes—is also seriously heating our planet

Controlling methane leaks and emissions is crucial for controlling global climate change. Hosts Caitlin Saks and Arlo Pérez Esquivel investigate this tricky molecule by tracing it to its source, in nature and in the city. They investigate why this molecule is so efficient at heating both our homes and our planet—and how scientists are trying to stem the flow of the molecule into the atmosphere.
