It was the hydroxyl radicals after all!
"During 2020–2021, however, hydroxyl radicals levels around the world dropped. This is because the ingredients needed to make them were reduced when human activity slowed down."

1️⃣Lockdowns reduced emissions of air pollutants
2️⃣These gases help form hydroxyl radicals - molecules that removes methane
3️⃣With fewer hydroxyl radicals, methane was broken down more slowly and accumulated faster
4️⃣At the same time, wetter conditions boosted methane emissions from wetlands

Code Meh!
February methane data was released by NOAA yesterday, and the rate of methane growth continues its steady decline from its Covid-19 peak in 2022.

"More hydrogen means less OH [hydroxyl radicals] in the atmosphere, which means methane persists longer and thus warms the climate for a longer period"

This is from organic chemistry. The short hand for alcohol is ROH.
R represents the carbon group and OH is oxygen and hydrogen forming what's called a hydroxyl group. So, ROH = alcohol.
Means the same thing. Drunk, intoxicated.

Created by sunlight (UV radiation)
Hydroxile is the dominant sink of methane (CH₄), which we keep pumping into the atmosphere like there's no tomorrow.
The ESA EarthCARE mission helps to fill important knowledge gaps!
