RTCC: NASA data shows methane emissions hotspot in US
Unconventional methods of extracting fossil fuels could be releasing more methane into the atmosphere than thought, scientists have warned.
The US administration is taking steps to make the coal, oil and gas sectors measure and reduce emissions of methane, a potent greenhouse gas.
NASA has published satellite data that shows emissions at a methane “hot spot” are more than triple what was measured on the ground.
