Chile landfill tops UN global list for methane emissions

A landfill on the outskirts of Santiago, Chile, is one of the world's largest sources of climate-warming methane gas, according to a UN study, which estimated the trash heap produces emissions equivalent to those from nearly 2 million cars driven annually. #News #Reuters #Newsfeed #globalwarming #methane #methanegas #chile #landfill Read the story here: 👉 Subscribe: Keep up with the latest news from around the…

Dear Ms. Johnson,

I am reaching out to raise significant concerns about the Iroquois Gas Transmission Enhancement by Compression (ExC) project, particularly its role in locking in long-term reliance on methane gas infrastructure.

Methane is a potent greenhouse gas with far-reaching implications for our climate and public health. Expanding infrastructure to facilitate its continued use creates an enduring dependency that is fundamentally at odds with the urgent need to transition to renewable energy sources. This is not merely a question of emissions today; it is about the decades-long legacy of methane reliance that projects like this perpetuate.

With policies increasingly favoring decarbonization, how does Iroquois reconcile this project with the clear scientific consensus that methane infrastructure poses an unacceptable risk to meeting climate targets? Beyond the immediate operational emissions, the project risks delaying investments in truly sustainable energy solutions, effectively entrenching an outdated energy model.

Communities and future generations deserve more than incremental change; they deserve transformative leadership that prioritizes a rapid shift away from fossil fuels altogether. I urge Iroquois to reconsider its trajectory and take bold steps toward aligning its operations with a net-zero future.

I look forward to hearing how Iroquois plans to address these critical concerns, not just for today, but for the long-term health of our planet and its people.

Sincerely,

Jonathan
