And switching to natural gas. Sigh.
Well, it is better than coal I suppose. Not enough to keep the planet from boiling but... baby steps?
It’s far too late for baby steps
Guess we should take no steps then.
Obviously no one’s saying that, but thanks for your contribution.
Was no more low-effort than your contribution.
As I understand it, natural gas might be better than coal, but it’s surprisingly not that clear cut:
It’s only better if we keep leakage under 3%, but currently leakage is well above that in the US. We need strong regulation and oversight for natural gas to be worth it (which thankfully the Biden administration recently announced). But there’s no replacing moving away from fossil fuels.
NASA just put a sat in orbit that measures the leakages with pin point accuracy...
Knowing the level of leakage and stopping it are two very different things.
We have been measuring atmospheric co2 for at least a century...
Not really in this case. Methane emissions are very specific and do not happen with everything humans do. Co2 is also a very big building block of life itself, Methane isn't.
