Natural Gas vs Coal, and what does it mean for the Climate?
Robert Howarth is Professor of Ecology & Environmental Biology at Cornell University. He is an expert on natural gas & methane and their impact on the climate. In this wide-ranging interview, Prof. Howarth discusses how methane’s powerful warming capability (87X more effective than CO2 in warming the world over a 20-year period) and its high leakage rate from the extraction, transportation, and utilization processes makes it about as bad as coal when it comes to short-terms global warming.

Oil and gas companies have walked away from more than 2 million unplugged, inactive wells in the United States.
These unplugged wells emit as much carbon pollution as 2 million passenger vehicles per year.
These can be capped and create jobs.https://t.co/UzAcoTIrHM
