The more negligent and incompetent methane emissions become, the more carbon credits will be devalued.
Do you consider methane leaks as a 10 year investment plan? There is no tracing where the co2 came from once ch4 turns into co2 (we've had methane leaks for decades). :)

The opportunities for fraud have already been proven.
There is no money (gdp) in preventing methane leaks and we get the upside of higher temperatures and carbon credit manipulation.
Carbon credits schemes profit from neglect. The "save the world types" just chased co2......
- exp1orer 4y agoIf I'm reading your comment correctly, you may not be aware that methane abatement is also eligible for carbon crediting programs, which operate under the framework of "global warming potential" (GWP) to translate different gases into "CO2-equivalent tons" (tCO2e).

I'm actually not a climate change warrior either, I just read a lot ;)
