Now THIS is a gas leak!

50,000 kg/hour (not a typo) of methane leaking in southern California 8O

Hmmm… so I just announced a new plugin about CO2 and while I was making that one I of course had plenty of time to actually look at the data itself and frankly, it is quite scary… and now you post this… I really worry what this planet will look like in… well not so distant future…

When I saw it in the LA Times I thought it might be the usual U.S. misunderstanding of the metric system but the reporter kindly pointed me to the original CA state report. It’s their estimate, and I imagine the company will have a different one, but I wouldn’t want to be downwind of it.

Thought this was about bathrooms after Taco Tuesday at the Bell…

Well I’m a fully qualified gas engineer, if that’s any help, but they will have to fly me out there.

to think they are struggling to cap it on land…(compared to under the ocean)

Just need a large cork, or set fire to it.
