Enbridge gets federal approval for $4B natural gas pipeline expansion in B.C.

Premier David Eby says the Sunrise expansion is good news for jobs in B.C. Construction is expected to begin this summer, with startup targeted for late 2028.

Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS Left a Trail of Methane in its Wake

A new analysis of data obtained by JWST on 3I/ATLAS as it was on its way out of the Solar System (in December 2025) showed that its interior is rich in methane ice.

Revealed: the world’s worst mega-leaks of #methane driving #globalheating
The super-#polluting plumes from #oil and #gas facilities have a colossal heating impact on the #climate but often result from poor maintenance and can be simple to fix, making lack of action maddening. The assessment found dozens of mega-leaks, each having the same global heating impact as a coal-fired power station.

Revealed: the world’s worst mega-leaks of methane driving global heating

Exclusive: Fixing a leak can be simple and equivalent to closing a coal power station, making lack of action maddening, say analysts

Regarding that boost about #methane sources in #Chile, this global map may have outdated data but gives some idea about the problem:

EMIT will make the first detailed maps of dust composition of Earth’s dust source regions and use state-of-the-art climate models to better understand regional and global heating and cooling impacts and future changes in dust source regions.

Banks accused of failing to tackle methane emissions

Responsible for 30% of global warming since the Industrial Revolution, methane remains a key driver of the climate crisis. Despite this, banks continue to overlook the methane generated by some of the world's biggest emitters: agri-food companies.

On éviterait 20 % des émissions de méthane si on n'élevait plus de bovins.
Une nouvelle étude utilise l'inférence causale pour démontrer l'impact d'une telle politique publique : https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.19019693

New study uses causal inference to demonstrate that we would avoid 20 % methane emissions if one commodity was replaced.

New study uses causal analysis to demonstrate big reductions in carbon emissions if fewer bovines.
In ten years, methane emissions from all activities if bovine stop would be 80 % of methane emissions from all activities if no intervention.
Results and causation are presented at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.19019693

Lack of phosphates cause methane to be produced... this seems a rabbit hole to get lost in, because I don't want to believe sprinkling phosphates in parts of the ocean is an answer. That could create new problems.

Newly discovered ocean methane source could fuel warming loop

New study solves decades-old scientific mystery but warns the ocean may contribute far more to future methane than current models predict
