Methane emissions, a key driver of climate change, remain stubbornly high around the world according to an annual update from the International Energy Agency (IEA). That’s despite the fact that the technology to cut those emissions exists now — especially for emissions from the oil and gas sector. “Because methane is such a potent greenhouse gas, reductions are critical for action on climate,” said Tomás Bredariol, energy and environmental policy analyst at the IEA who worked on the Global Methane Tracker report. Methane is about 80 times more potent than carbon dioxide at trapping heat, but only lasts for around…
Some friends of ours get together monthly for dinner parties. We take turns hosting, and we’ve been doing this for years. During the last dinner, at our home, I saw a friend poke her husband with her elbow while I was speaking. I didn’t think anything of it — until I saw her do it two more times when I was talking that night. I became self-conscious and quieter for the rest of the evening.
