Résumé : Considering temporal data in reducing anthropogenic gas emissions into the atmosphere amplifies the un-predictable risks of climate change. Fossil fuel combustion emits various gases such as CO2, and SO2, which have con-trasting climate impacts and atmospheric lifespans- over a century for CO2 and less than two weeks for SO2. The defossi-lization of energy’s transition, away from fossil fuels, may accelerate global warming risks due to the loss of SO2’s cooling effect. A strategic focus on rapidly mitigating anthropogenic methane (CH₄) emissions aligns with a diversified decarboni-zation paradigm and offers a feasible pathway. Achieving this requires a nexus of technological, institutional, and societal innovations that depend on public engagement. The integration of technical democracy, via hybrid forums, and participa-tory action research combining field-based and controlled environments, could provide the institutional framework needed to navigate these complex transitions effectively.
