What are you seeing in 1995? The methane charts I'm looking at don't have anything that stands out to me then.

I'd be curious to know why we had a downward trend in methane from mid-80s to mid-oughts, and what caused that reverse over the last 20 years.

Iirc its a combination of lowered emissions, as well as the sun breaking down methane in the atmosphere
