Via Marcelo Gonzales Montoya, ClimateNexus.org: “New research from Stanford University finds that the EPA dramatically undercounts and undervalues methane’s climate impact. The study finds that methane’s impact on warming is best considered over the short-term – just 24 years – rather than the EPA’s preferred method, which calculates its impact over 100 years. Methane is a short-lived super pollutant, lingering in the atmosphere for just over a decade; spreading out its impact over a century undervalues its global warming potential by a factor of three. This makes methane pollution appear much less detrimental to climate than it really is – with massive policy implications.
