The energy sector accounts for about 40% of all methane emissions from human activity, second to agriculture.
"Oil and gas companies should spend some of last year's record profits curbing their pollution," said Rob Jackson, an earth system scientist at Stanford University. "We need to price methane pollution in the same way some countries price carbon dioxide pollution."have pledged to cut global methane emissions by at least 30% from 2020 levels by the end of this decade - although major emitters including China and Russia have not.
NOAA physical scientist Lori Bruhwiler said rapid cuts to methane emissions are important, but must come alongside deep carbon dioxide emission reductions if the world is to avoid global warming exceeding 1.5 Celsius and unleashing more severe impacts.
For goodness sake....methane/ natural gas is coming from this Earth that God created for us. Good stuff to heat a home, cook a meal, make electricity. Etc. GOD GAVE US DOMAIN OVER THE EARTH.
Start with Nordstream methane leak and how to protect critical EU infrastructure from our “friends”.
