Global environmental implications of atmospheric methane removal through chlorine-mediated chemistry-climate interactions

Abstract Atmospheric methane is both a potent greenhouse gas and photochemically active, with approximately equal anthropogenic and natural sources. The addition of chlorine to the atmosphere has been proposed to mitigate global warming through methane reduction by increasing its chemical loss. Howe...
