Microbes in the environment, not fossil fuels, have been driving the recent surge in methane emissions globally, according to a new, detailed analysis published Oct 21 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences by CU Boulder researchers
Biden’s new commitments to reduce methane emissions are a promising signal. The new laws he has put forward could curb methane emissions in the US. And the Global Methane Pledges could help to limit global warming...
Carbon dioxide levels are now higher than at anytime in the past 3.6 million years.
The Gulf of Mexico is littered with tens of thousands of abandoned oil and gas wells, and toothless regulation leaves climate warming gas emissions unchecked.
At a meeting last year, industry leaders contradicted public claims that emissions of climate-warming methane are under control.
Methane is an especially potent greenhouse gas. A modest feed additive could provide a big leverage effect.
“This study confirms the growing body of peer-reviewed science indicating oil and gas extraction's methane pollution makes it as harmful to climate as coal burning's carbon dioxide pollution.”
Gas Leakages beneath your feet - these leaks challenge some of the basic assumptions of current US energy policy, which has aggressively endorsed natural gas as a “clean” and climate-friendly alternative to oil and coal.
