A new study offers a rare glimmer of hope in the face of climate change, suggesting glacial rivers and lakes may play a crucial role in mitigating the effects of methane, a powerful greenhouse gas that recent studies have shown emerging as glaciers melt in warming global temperatures. Researchers found that oxidation may reduce atmospheric methane emissions by as much as 53 percent.
