Plugging greenhouse gas leaks is one of the most effective things firms can do to help combat climate change

came across a large plume of methane drifting across the landscape. The discharge appeared to originate from a gas pipeline at the nearby Korpezhe oil and gasfield. Two more large plumes were also spotted in the area, including one from a compressor station. The company operating the satellite,at, based in Montreal, passed details via diplomats to officials in Turkmenistan, and after a few months the leaks stopped.

There have been other big leaks, too. Last year a group of researchers led by Ilse Aben of the Netherlands Institute for Space Research studiedimages of a blowout at a natural-gas well in Belmont county, Ohio. This began on February 15th 2018 and took three weeks to control.

This is may a problem in UK with their reduced environmental control standards. On the continent, firms almost everywhere have very strict obligations regarding their GHG (not speaking of CO2) and their registration, monitoring etc. Starting with simple room a/c

we need no satellites to understand United States of America is the state consuming 40 fucking per cent of world's resources wherever goods for Americans are being produced. 40 fuck!! for 4,5 per cent of planet population

Who’s wicked ?

CO² emissions rises with more energy needed for refrigerator systems on Summers and heating on Winters due to climate change. What about pole shift, GretaThunberg and WMO?
