Just wait till Google gets the methane satellites and show that big oil is the one doing 99% of the pollution
The balance of the evidence to date is that raising ruminants responsible for something like 35-40% of anthropogenic methane emissions. That’s big enough to be worth addressing.
Big oil has neglected to include well burnoffs in their calculations making those studies garbage.
A lot of the satellite data for methane is already available. Researchers aren’t finding what you’re describing.
Data from the satellite will be available later this year, and Google Cloud will provide the computing capabilities to process the information.
What makes you so sure there can only be one singular big culprit, rather than multiple culprits of different sizes?
What exactly do you mean?
N3m37h’s apparent belief that absolutely every other industry besides oil/gas is irrelevant for climate change. Oil/gas is obviously the biggest chunk but agriculture, construction, etc. all need to change too.
I think what they’re saying is that the amount of pollution caused by oil and gas makes that caused by agriculture irrelevant.
Ass u me much?
This is what I was referring to
No, but that 35-40% is not right by any means.
That’s the point I am making. All old studies should be taken with a bucket of salt.
Ok, I see. But still, 99% seems a little much, given a billion cows, the vast majority of which kept under conditions defined by humans to increase milk and meat production.
And if you force me to eat more fiber, I’ll be the one making more methane emissions. I do love me some beans, but I can only take so much!
