Scientists have discovered a strange methane leak at the deepest point of the Baltic Sea. The leak is located near a WWII shipwreck that may have disturbed the seafloor sediments. This finding could have implications for the global carbon cycle and marine ecosystems. #MethaneLeak #BalticSea #Shipwreck https://www.livescience.com/planet-earth/rivers-oceans/strange-methane-leak-discovered-at-the-deepest-point-of-the-baltic-sea-baffling-scientists?utm_source=flipboard&utm_content=HariTulsidas%2Fmagazine%2FArchetypes

Climate-heating methane released from dozens of Australian fossil fuel sites, environmental group claims https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2023/aug/08/climate-heating-gas-released-from-dozens-of-australian-fossil-fuel-sites-environmental-group-claims?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other

The companies could’ve said “sh*t, thanks, we’ll fix it” but instead they go full “not me Sheila” and into attack dog mode. The blistering arrogance, even when confronted with hard evidence. This kinda company can’t be trusted even to shit in the hole.

"Critics say the decision comes at a high cost to both the climate and human health"

"California regulators voted Thursday to increase the capacity of a Los Angeles #NaturalGas storage field, where a 2015 blowout caused the nation’s largest-ever #MethaneLeak and forced thousands from their homes.

"Locals, environmental advocates, and lawmakers have called for the closure of the facility, which has been approved to increase more than 20% in capacity."

Oh No!

Can you calculate how many metric tonnes those daily 100mio cubic feet methane are?
