When we discuss climate change, most of our focus is on carbon dioxide or CO2 emissions. But today, we’re talking about methane, a greenhouse gas 80 times more potent than carbon dioxide. So, why don’t we hear more about it?

Police of a little-noticed 2018 methane leak at an Exxon Mobil site in Ohio was one of the worst in recent memory, outpacing the methane emissions from the entire oil and gas industries of many countries.

When we discuss climate change, most of our focus is on carbon dioxide or CO2 emissions. But why don’t we talk about other heat trapping gases such as Methane (CH4), Carbon Monoxide (CO) and Nitrous Oxide (N2O)? The short answer is there is more CO2 in the atmosphere than any other greenhouse gas at around 80% of total emissions. But did you know, methane is over 80 times more potent than CO2?

Greenhouse gases are continuing to concentrate at an unprecedented rate in our atmosphere. The main culprits are carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane. By volume, CO2 is the most common greenhouse gas in our atmosphere, accounting for over

History is full of arguments about the worthiness of facts. Skeptics often don’t know any better. Sometimes they refuse to listen. Other times they are fed misinformation or outright lies that convince them of a certain argument.
