I think that is intentional, as it exposes methane leaks in the whole argument. That natural gas is a climate, friendly fuel.

Isn't pretty much everything presented at climate week that?

rbrulle.bsky.social @rbrulle.bsky.social · 23/09/2026
It is certainly vitally important. But I have seen estimates that methane is contributing between 20% and 40% of global warming. It does seem to me that the science needs to expand to take this into account.

But to the casual observer, it looks like it is actually getting better. When if you include the methane leaks, it could be getting worse. I’m not saying what you’re doing is scientifically incorrect the question is how is this going to be interpreted by the media and the general public?

Have you seen this article: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... It recalculates the U.S. emissions by including new estimates of methane emissions. The U.S. reduction since 1995 goes from 17% down to 6%. Seems pretty important to me.

So this omits methane? How accurate is that?

rbrulle.bsky.social @rbrulle.bsky.social · 23/09/2026
Is that based on reliable methane emissions data or old, wrong, and low data estimates?

NYT fails to call for shutting down fossil fuel infrastructure. Deep, rapid, and sustained emissions reduction are needed. But there is no acknowledgement of that. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Just because there’s no other option doesn’t mean that it’s feasible. Maybe there is no realistic option to meet the Paris goals.
