UPDATE: Since launching our own methane-tracking satellite earlier this year, California has helped close 10 large methane leaks in our state.

That pollution reduction is roughly the same as taking 18,000 gas-powered cars off the road for an entire year.
California is moving forward with a groundbreaking satellite project to track and reduce methane emissions.

With this innovative technology, we’ll be able to move faster to cut methane emissions — protecting Californians and tackling harmful pollution.

NEW: The Environmental Protection Agency is finalizing a rule that’ll drastically weaken restrictions on “stripper wells,” which tend to be old, poorly maintained and prone to leaking methane, the highly potent greenhouse gas.

“I’ve been hearing that the industry can solve the methane problem since the early 2000s,” she [@txsharon.bsky.social] said. “But it hasn’t happened, and methane keeps climbing higher and higher. The only way methane levels will come down is to stop permitting new wells.”

Ceci n'est pas de la science-fiction : la lune de Saturne Rhéa devant Titan, immense lune avec une atmosphère de méthane, et un cycle du méthane comme le cycle de l'eau sur Terre (nuages, pluie, rivières, lacs....de méthane !)
#PPOD: This image of two moons of Saturn - Titan and Rhea - was captured by NASA's Cassini spacecraft on 10 December 2011. The distance to Titan was 2.038 million km, and to Rhea was 1.329 million km. Note the hazy atmosphere of Titan! Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/SSI/CICLOPS/Gordan Ugarković 🧪 🔭

Feeding and raising livestock accounts for roughly 14.5% of global greenhouse gas emissions, but new studies show that giving grazing cattle a seaweed supplement reduced methane emissions by almost 40%.

The EPA has postponed enforcing limits on methane emissions linked to oil and gas operations while it weighs the possibility of scrapping the rules altogether.

The Inflation Reduction Act allocated $1.55 billion to mitigating methane pollution from fossil fuel infrastructure. Does anyone know how much of that money went out, where it went, or how much avoided methane pollution taxpayers got as a return on that investment? Surprisingly little info online.

Kurt Füchslin captured this video of frozen methane bubbles in Sihlsee (Lake Sihl) in Switzerland.

Deep in the depths, bacteria break down decaying organic matter, producing bubbles of methane.

As they reach the thickening surface ice, they're trapped as flammable fart pancakes/ice art.

Methane is a planet killer.
Canada gave millions to big oil for methane reduction. They used is as a subsidy for oil production.
Mark Carney should not have given Big Oil a break on methane obligations.
