- second only to carbon dioxide in its contribution as a greenhouse gas. Human activity is a major contributor to methane emissions, chiefly from the energy industries. According to the Environmental Defense Fund (EDF), the oil and gas industries alone release 75 million metric tons each year. In response, the organization is planning to launch MethaneSAT to identify major sources of methane emissions and identify opportunities for reduction. If all goes the plan, EDF hopes to launch the satellite early in 2021.
It's not. Methane is a more 'powerful' 'green-house gas' than CO2.. Water vapor is immensely more powerful than the two of the put together. .Human activity is inconsequential.
That is if there were such a thing as global warming. There's not. The planet is getting colder. The winters are getting colder and longer.
The ocean IS getting warmer...odd that.
Perhaps those thousands of undersea volcanic eruptions might have something to do with it?
All that tax money spent on a satellite. Wasted. Perhaps it has an alternative use?
