A group of over 40 scientists from around the globe has raised concerns regarding the manipulation of climate metrics, particularly the **Global Warming Potential Star (GWP*), which they believe undermines efforts to combat methane emissions. The scientists, including 11 authors from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), argue that such metrics enable major methane emitters to continue high levels of emissions while falsely claiming to be 'climate neutral'. They urge governments to adhere to the Global Methane Pledge, which targets a 30% reduction in methane emissions by 2030 and emphasizes the need for a 47-60% reduction by 2050 to meet Paris Agreement goals. The statement highlights that most agricultural methane emissions come from high-income countries, which should lead the charge in emission reductions. Additionally, the scientists call for companies to cease misleading claims of climate neutrality associated with methane-intensive products. They assert that reducing methane emissions can provide immediate benefits in combating global warming, complementing longer-term reductions in carbon dioxide. As climate impacts become increasingly evident, the scientists stress that all countries and sectors must take responsibility for addressing methane emissions to limit global temperature rise to 1.5°C**.
