I didn't read anything about methane emissions in there. Did I miss it?

  Methane doesn't have much to do with the BOE per se. The BOE is simply a function of warming. The details of how that warming happens don't really matter for that discussion.

    It does matter because methane has a larger and shorter term effect. That means that even if CO2 is on course to cause a BOE, we can cut methane, reducing greenhouse effects significantly in the short term, giving us a much better chance to avoid it.

      Ah. That is an excellent point. Thank you. You've given me some renewed hope for the future.
