(meteorobs) Fwd: "meteor smoke" is essential to the formation of noctilucent clouds.

[Anthony DeBartolo]

"Whatever your beliefs might be about climate change, what has climate 
change got to do with methane emission levels?"

a lot....apparently:

"Big, bad carbon dioxide gets most of the attention when it comes to greenhouse gases, but it's not the only one that's warming the earth. Methane — a gas that is found in everything from landfills to cow stomachs — also plays a big role. Although global methane-emissions levels are much lower than CO2 emissions, pound for pound methane is a more powerful greenhouse gas; a ton of it has 23 times the warming effect of a ton of CO2. And methane, like CO2, is on the rise thanks to us: about 60% of global methane emissions come from man-made sources, and the atmospheric concentration of methane has increased by around 150% since 1750, according to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Now there's new focus on a pair of methane sources that we usually don't think of as natural polluters: wetlands and rice paddies."

gratuitous. There is no excuse for this type of bad science writing. 
When it bears the NASA brand name it is very embarrassing.
