Researchers at Spark Climate Solutions Research published findings in Environmental Research Letters showing that methane and CO2 emissions from natural sources—permafrost thaw, wildfires, wetlands, and freshwater bodies—could amplify global heating by 20–30% by century's end, adding 0.2–0.4°C to global temperatures.
