Impact of #Methane on #GlobalWarming

(1/n)

#ISS contributes to solutions for #ClimateChange

It is not just from underwater #OilFields (1) that the #GreenhouseGas #methane is leaking en masse. It is also emitted by #volcanoes (2).

Leaks from continental #FossilFuel #fields are enormous, too:

"‘Mind-boggling’ methane #emissions from #Turkmenistan revealed
..#leaks of potent greenhouse gas."

In contrast to the volcanoes 🌋,...

...about which nothing can be done, and fixing the underwater fields at a staggering cost of ca. 30 bn. USD (2/n), the 2 fields' #leaks 👉could be easily fixed👈, say experts, and 👉would rapidly reduce global heating👈...

Together, the two [main] fields released emissions equivalent to 366m tonnes of #CO2, 👉more..."

In conclusion, the compound impact of #Methane on #GlobalWarming has continuously been underreported and underestimated:

ETA:
Just realized that the final post never was Public, sorry.

Methane emissions from oil and gas are worse than reported to UN, satellites show

The US, Russia, Venezuela and Turkmenistan, the world’s four largest emitters, account for most of the discrepancy. Read more at straitstimes.com.
