Farmers quickly condemned the plan.

But the methane emitted broke records /world/2022-10-04/the-nord-stream-pipelines-have-stopped-leaking-but-the-methane-emitted-broke-records The Nord Stream pipeline leak might be the single largest release of methane, a powerful greenhouse gas. Experts say it pales in comparison to ongoing methane emissions from the oil and gas industry.

They found more methane than was supposed to be there.

Here's Why It Matters For The Climate /news/npr-breaking-news/2021-07-13/your-trash-is-emitting-methane-in-the-landfill-heres-why-it-matters-for-the-climate Landfills are among the nation's largest sources of methane, a greenhouse gas far more potent than carbon dioxide. But accurately measuring methane is a major challenge to reducing it.
