emissions from gas flaring being hidden from satellite monitors - https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2024/may/02/methane-emissions-gas-flaring-hidden-satellite-monitors-oil-gas when you think dirty can't get any more evil, they do...

@glynmoody @ariadne This paragraph raised questions unanswered by the article:

“Methane and carbon dioxide plumes were seen coming from enclosed flaring devices in the Four Corners region of New Mexico, according to satellite data from CarbonMapper, which provides publicly accessible data on greenhouse gases.”

That sounds like the emissions from enclosed flaring can be seen by satellite, which is the opposite of what the rest of the article says.

@Brendanjones I read that as gases might be detectable to a certain extent, but the flaring - fires - aren't, and so can't be measured.. @ariadne

Absolutely zero comment from the establishment mouthpiece the guardian when the NordStream pipeline was blown up , why is that ? Nothing was said , no one investigated and released the findings, somehow this monumental explosion of methane didn't matter at all but a few gas flares allegedly being hidden are a huge problem for the planet ! Give me a break , stop reading this garbage .

@Misslemon I saw a later analysis which estimated the methane from the pipeline leak as small compared to global escapes

Misslemon,

@glynmoody
Yeah I saw conflicting reports,
but you have to ask why our greens are not out protesting war or all the weapons manufacturers like Raytheon , baring in mind 80 % of America s green house gasses are produced by thier military , the same or similar must apply to all of our countries, and now NATO has increased military spending to 2.5 % of our GDP. What are a few gas flares compared to this? its mostly propagander I m o .https://www.mic.com/impact/the-us-militarys-greenhouse-gas-emissions-are-higher-than-most-countries-18146960
