The economic case for methane action is clear.
- Global methane abatement yields large net global economic benefits.
- The benefit-cost ratio of methane action is at least 3—rising to more than 6 when health cobenefits are included.

Tête de Moine cheese is served in fan-shaped, flower-like ribbons. Researchers have found that the frilly forms arise from spatial variations in the properties of the cheese wheel from which the flowers are removed. The insight could help improve the processing of soft materials.
Cheese Flowers Are Shaped by Friction
Scraping the surface of a Tête de Moine cheese wheel produces frilly ribbons whose flower-like forms depend on the local friction.
