How's the UK's #GlobalMethanePledge going after 'green day' last week?
Not well. My colleague @[email protected] found the UK is way off track, in part because HMG is allowing the oil/gas industry to flare 750k homes' worth of gas/year! https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/apr/12/uk-off-track-on-pledge-to-cut-methane-emissions-study-30-per-cent-2030
What changed? Defra gets a 👏for acting on methane suppressants for cows/sheep, while @energygovuk is protecting polluters👎.
The result? A meagre 14% reduction in methane by 2030, vs our analysis that -43% is doable: https://green-alliance.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/Global-methane-pledge.pdf
