Scientists tracked formaldehyde in the atmosphere, revealing how volcanic ash and seawater blasted into the sky created chlorine atoms that tore methane apart faster than CO2 breaks down. Nature’s wild experiment might hold the key to a new climate weapon: intentionally triggering atmospheric methane destruction. Could volcanoes be our secret allies in fighting global warming? The science is still unfolding—but this discovery could rewrite how we measure—and tackle—our…
