Although carbon dioxide is the primary driver of climate change, which potent greenhouse gas is responsible for trapping a significant amount of heat in the atmosphere and is primarily generated by sources such as livestock digestion, natural gas leaks, and the decomposition of organic waste in landfills?
💡 Explanation:
Methane (CH4) is a greenhouse gas with a far greater warming potential than CO2 over a short period. Major anthropogenic sources include agriculture (especially enteric fermentation in livestock), the oil and gas industry (leaks), and solid waste disposal (landfills).
