No access to it...
However, that's unsurprising.
Literally every time someone tries to figure out how much methane there should be based on published leak rates and such, and then goes to measure out there somewhere, they find radically more methane in the air than there "should be." And it's very hard to track back to where it's all coming from.
It seems methane leaks from just about everything, and it's far from the "climate savior" it's been made out to be. It's not carbon emissions, it's just far worse over the short term.
- hgomersall 5y agoI remember reading somewhere that much of the emissions blamed on the meat and dairy industry were actually due to the oil industry not being transparent. I may have misremembered or misunderstood, but it all seems very fishy to me.
