#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:

..#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:

Is something finally being done about the--manageable--gigantic #methane #emissions in #Turkmenistan tha could reduce #globalwarming
