Atmospheric methane(CH4) concentrations have shown a puzzling resumption in growth since 2007 following a period of stabilization from 2000 to *** hypotheses have been proposed to explain the temporal variations in CH4growth,and attribute the rise of atmospheric CH4either to increases in emissions from fossil fuel activities,agriculture and natural wetlands,or to a decrease in the atmospheric chemical ***,we use a comprehensive ensemble of CH4source estimates and isotopic δ13C-CH4source signature data to show that the resumption of CH4growth is most likely due to increased anthropogenic *** emission scenarios that have the fewest biases with respect to isotopic composition suggest that the agriculture,landfill and waste sectors were responsible for 53±13% of the renewed growth over the period 2007-2017 compared to 2000-2006;industrial fossil fuel sources explained an additional 34 ±24%,and wetland sources contributed the least at 13 ±9%.The hypothesis that a large increase in emissions from natural wetlands drove the decrease in atmospheric δ13C-CH4values cannot be reconciled with current process-based wetland *** finding suggests the need for increased wetland measurements to better understand the contemporary and future role of wetlands in the rise of atmospheric methane and climate *** findings highlight the predominant role of anthropogenic activities in driving the growth of atmospheric CH4concentrations.
