RE: https://mastodon.social/@JulianOliver/117017586999838411 Methane is worse and easier to avoid... https://globalenergymonitor.org/projects/global-methane-emitters-tracker?popup=6541 Methane is significantly more potent than CO2 as a greenhouse gas, with a warming potential 80 times higher over a 20-year period and 30 times higher over 100y. Despite this potency, methane persists in the atmosphere for a much shorter duration than carbon dioxide, making its reduction a critical "emergency brake" for near-term climate mitigation. North Sea oil drilling could be creating a climate disaster even worse than feared
