🚨 BREAKING: Who would've guessed that the EPA's #methane 'regulator' was actually moonlighting as an oil industry ghostwriter? 🤡 It's like hiring a fox to guard the henhouse and then being surprised when feathers fly! 🦊🥚

The Trump EPA Official in Charge of Methane Regulations Helped Write Oil Industry Argument Against Those Rules

Before becoming a top official at the Environmental Protection Agency, Aaron Szabo was a lobbyist for the oil and gas industry. Metadata shows he helped draft a trade group’s 2022 letter to the EPA objecting to controls on methane emissions.

Aaron Szabo, the Trump EPA official leading an effort to loosen rules on methane pollution, was an unnamed author of key oil industry arguments against those same rules just four years ago when he was an oil and gas lobbyist, metadata shows.

I would go even further and say: Europe MUSTNOT be up for shale!

This sloppyness and wasting of natural gas, i. e. #methane is (or rather: has been?) eating up the last remnants of the so called carbon budget.
At least fugitive methane could be harvested and burnt in a more senseful manner, the profit of that probably more than outweighing the cost of fixing the holes where that gas comes out.

How can anyone seriously consider giving these vital measurements and certification into the hands of not-so-independent third party undertakers?! I mean undertakings.

Eric Maugendre about carbonApr 1

"If you put a kilogram of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere it has a warming effect that lasts millennia. You put a kilogram of methane in the atmosphere, the warming effect will disappear almost entirely after 20 years. So the amount of warming you get depends on the emission rate of methane", said Raymond Pierrehumbert: https://thebulletin.org/2023/12/mass-delusion-and-wishful-thinking-why-everything-you-think-you-know-about-methane-is-probably-wrong/

'Mass delusion and wishful thinking': Why everything you think you know about methane is probably wrong

What’s really damaging is fooling yourself into thinking that eliminating methane has as big an impact as eliminating carbon dioxide.

Well this is bad news. I knew about the risks of cooking with methane gas were being underplayed but had no idea that benzene could be leaking nonstop! Time to electrify!

Cow manure digesters really do cut methane—unless they leak

A new study shows that systems designed to capture methane from cow manure, called dairy digesters, are highly effective. But on the rare occasions they fail, the leaks are large enough to offset their climate benefits.
