Methane, a climate time bomb: On the trail of leaks in Romania • FRANCE 24 English

We have to stop stubble burning on farmlands.we have to reduce carbon footprints in cities.

How are the german coal mines doing? hehe

Talk to China and India.

Stopping methane leaks is very important, for it's more potent than co2 and those leaks have been considered 'normal' so far. But the bigger tools to stop climate warming and increasingly deadly and expensive extreme weather is to stop fossile fuels all together.
Stop subsidizing fossile fuels and beef production, tax them instead and subsidize the alternatives, that don't poison us and cause more climate destruction!

all we hear is global warming time after time, it is pathetic

Is there any western ecological NGO‘s in Qatar, Saudi arabia or China ? They would be arrested and expeled the same day. But they can bully poor eastern european.

Very little being done to fix the climate in ANY country. This is just an example of that!

Too little, too late... we should have switched to renewable decades ago, instead we now delude ourselves that anything but a complete halt in fossil fuel extraction globally can have a positive effect regarding climate change.

There is no "Climate Crisis"....... TRUMP WON, THE WORLD WON, CO2 is great for the world :)

This video has the United Nations Climate Change disclaimer. The cause of global warming is not know in 2024. Global warming was officially stated at 1.1°C in 1991 and 1.06°C in 2022. Global warming has been staled at about 1°C since 1992.

The slight increasing average global temperatures are greatly meaningless to modern human lives not eliciting concern. In the early 1980s to promote the need to prepare for increasing average global temperatures the term Climate Change was given for the already known prediction of stronger Gulf of Mexico hurricanes when global warming reached 1.5°C on track to take place in 2010. That required stronger Gulf of Mexico oil platform design and builds talking place in the 1970s.

This was qualifiedly a change in human activity due to global warming that was in some sense Climate Change. There was also expected increases in sea levels from warmer expanding sea water. The term Climate Change is much more attention provoking than the term Global Warming even though no observable Climate Change from global warming, and very minimal at that, would take place until global warming reached 1.5°C on track to be reached in 2010.

There were no plausible mechanisms from the current science in 1980 that could cause increasing average global temperatures.

In the 1950s earth’s atmosphere had been greatly studied and the characteristics of its major gases greatly understood. Earth’s saturated greenhouse effect from water vapor adding 10°F (5.55°C) to earth’s average temperature was well known. In was taught in 1970s US public school science education.

It is scientifically impossible for greenhouse gas behavior to cause global warming. All the greenhouse radiant energy from the earth is completely absorbed in earth's greenhouse effect by greenhouse gases within 20 meters of the radiating surface that is always in saturation from the strong greenhouse gas water vapor.

The back of the United Nation's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) science report states it took its greenhouse gas samples at 20,000 meters altitude where it is common high school level knowledge there is no greenhouse radiant energy. This is typical practice for deceptive marketing to state legal data transparency protecting the perpetrators from fraud prosecution. The IPCC has been transparent with its data acknowledging it is not dealing with active greenhouse gases.

Earth's greenhouse effect is frequently used as a primary example to high school students of a system always in saturation from the strong greenhouse gas water vapor absorbing all the greenhouse radiant energy from the earth with greenhouse gases within 20 meters of the radiating surface that is all around us everyday and can't have its overall effect changed. There is no further greenhouse radiant energy to interact with greenhouse gases.

At 1% average tropospheric water vapor over 99% of earth’s greenhouse effect is from water vapor. Water vapor would hold earth's greenhouse effect in saturation if it were the only greenhouse gas in the atmosphere. The overall average temperature gain to the earth from the earth’s greenhouse effect is 5.55°C (10°F).

Arctic warming is taking place with the proving mechanism being warm Atlantic Ocean waters migrating deeper and more frequently into the Arctic Ocean warming it and the region. That warmer water is causing a few weeks less of reflective snow and ice coverage resulting in more solar heat gain to the Arctic region surface.

Atmospheric CO2 levels of 1200 ppm about three times what they are today would greatly invigorate C3 plants the majority of plant life on earth greatly greening the planet.

0.4% of the atmosphere is CO2 and on average 1% is H20 water vapor. (1% H20)/(0.4% CO2) = 25. Water vapor is 25 times more present in the atmosphere on average than CO2. Water vapor has an CO2e of 18, 18 X 25 = 450 CO2e total for water vapor to 1 CO2e for CO2.

The Earth’s oceans have 3-1/2 million sea floor volcanic vents warming the water and changing it’s chemistry that have not been systematically accounted for.

American watching from the State of Rhode Island in the U.S.-excellent expose'-much admiration and applause to the team pursuing this issue-so important. Great job guys! 😇

License for an infrared camera?

You need to smell the air in Ploiesti when there are clouds, smell coming from Vega refinery is incredible and nobody is doing nothing. People are building flats near that refinery ..... it's a madness

😏 Why am I not surprised...? Seriously.... What's wrong with modern humanity...? We need indigenous leadership worldwide. They prioritize the Earth, future generations, and living in balance with nature. We seriously need to get back to our native origins.

Good work Clean Air Task Force, the Environmental Defense Fund and its MethaneSat and France24 for reporting. Methane only lasts about 12 years but is 80x more powerful than CO2. We need to ban or start taxing all GHG emissions asap.

You should evaluate the devastating environmental impact of mining lithium and the sulfite as well other minerals required for the great electric cars. Not to mention that lithium fires emit significant toxic gasses and particles. There is no doubt that methane is a serious problem for the climate. Consider the vast amounts of methane that is emitted from the melting ice in the Arctic. It is unacceptable for oil producers to release methane which a health hazard pollutant.

Business as usual is a growing delusion. The vulnerability of countries is emerging. We consume 100 million barrels of oil per 24 hours... end to end that's 615 times around the earth per day. CO2 emissions are still climbing. We are on the verge of 1.5C global heating and in the next six years will see far more intense climate impact. Communities need to prepare for massive turmoil and costs due to the domination of the mighty powerful oil, gas and coal cartel who have corrupted many things due to a greed driven system and the rule of money.

But nobody discusses how we manage 8 billion peoples' flactuance! 😂
(Just a matter of time before they'll introduce a TAX on FARTING!), to help save the Planet...

Meanwhile the huge majority of the oil producers don't even care about the impact the cause for their operations....
Oil must start to be held accountable for cleaning and plug all of the "dead wells" and have a much higher degree of inspections to force them to comply with their "accidental" emissions...

Um, no. Break out your brain, a pencil, a calculator, and the Boltzmann equations and you'll find out that only 0.4% of methane molecules are above vibrational ground state. On top of that, the majority of that energy is gained via collisional exitation.

WHAT......you mean the same Methane that has been around for BILLIONS OF YEARS and has not killed off the planet yet ? 😅

Why risk your life taking pictures of things people don't want you to when you can use see methane with MethaneSat from space? Everyone can monition methane from the comfort of their homes.

Thanks for bringing awareness to this issue. But there are so many leaks... What can be done?
