Methane ‘Super-Emitters’ Mapped by NASA’s New Earth Space Mission. Really!

Demagogues at NASA want you to pee in your pants! So much alarmism and hysteria! It is shocking what is being paid for with our tax dollars!

Pure demagoguery! Remember: Life essential CO2 is a trace gas!

"... Relative to carbon dioxide, methane makes up a fraction of human-caused greenhouse-gas emissions, but it’s estimated to be 80 times more effective, ton for ton, at trapping heat in the atmosphere in the 20 years after release. Moreover, where carbon dioxide lingers for centuries, methane persists for about a decade, meaning that if emissions are reduced, the atmosphere will respond in a similar timeframe, leading to slower near-term warming. ..."

Methane ‘Super-Emitters’ Mapped by NASA’s New Earth Space Mission

For example, the instrument detected a plume about 2 miles (3.3 kilometers) long southeast of Carlsbad, New Mexico, in the Permian Basin. One of the largest oilfields in the world, the Permian spans parts of southeastern New Mexico and western Texas. [How much methane does this plume actually contain? NASA is silent about it!]
