Planet-warming methane pollution from the US oil and gas industry was 70% higher than the Environmental Protection Agency's own estimates between 2010 and 2019, scientists reported.

Planet-warming methane pollution from the US oil and gas industry was 70% higher than the Environmental Protection Agency’s own estimates between 2010 and 2019, scientists reported Monday. The new study, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, suggests the federal government’s current system for detecting methane leaks from fossil fuel pipes, wells and compressors is inadequate.

” A new way to find leaks There’s no question the EPA is monitoring methane leaks from oil and gas operations, experts said. The problem is the scale of monitoring is too small and infrequent. Existing EPA regulations require oil and gas companies to do quarterly inspections using hand-held infrared cameras and sensors to look for leaks coming from wells and equipment, and much of the rest is accounted for with engineering models.

Putins War is emitting more pollution.

Awesome

Yeah sure. AOC is sending the police to take my gas stove later today too…NOT

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 climate scammers.

Allegedly…

Elon's Starship uses liquid methane .

We need to outlaw beans, spices and broccoli, too, since they are trying to get rid of cows and sheep, until we have the technology to build a fart harvester after inventing the technology to power the world on methane, I suppose. Seriously?

mrbigg450 Rein those mofos!

CNN back to spreading lies for the government it seems. Are these the same scientists who said you would not be infected with Covid if you got the vaccine?

Perhaps we should shut down more nuclear power plants. Amirite?

So, seriously, there's no other way to better this

It’s not warming the planet dolts!

People fear we may destroy our planet with the way we use its resources. God's word the Bible although, predicting such a situation over 2000 years ago in Revelation 11:18, provides hope in the same verse. Please find out more in the article. earth

But yeah, cows are bad.

It used to be co2 until they learned they exhale it. Now it’s methane. What next?

CNN sucks

I love Oil and Gas. You can tell because I capitalized them.

There have been at least 5 ice ages in earth's history and Antarctica was at least once a tropical forest. Fossil fuel use contributed exactly zero percent to those changes.

Stop climate alarmism. Disgusting.

We’ve been told some semblance of this for a while. And the temperatures still are pretty much the same with few outliers. And methane is a NATURAL gas.

Yeah and all the coal plants that power your stupid electric cars has no bearing on that ok

BS

Trust the science 🤦‍♂️
