The study looked at how different amounts of microbes contribute to global warming, focusing on methane and carbon dioxide. They found that methane from natural sources can have a big impact on warming. By conducting experiments on how heat affects the release of these gases, they were able to quantify the environmental impact. The results show that the amount of methane and carbon dioxide released from natural processes can significantly contribute to global warming.
