~THREAD~ For nearly a decade @TXsharon and our field team have captured proof that #oilandgas is polluting more methane than they admit. Check the receipts below vvvv earthworks.org/the-power-of-b…
Methane is a GHG 86x more potent than CO2 and it is polluted at every step of the oil and gas extraction process. But science shows that poor reporting (and the forces of vested interests) keep much of this pollution (as much as half) unreported /2 nature.com/articles/s4146…
In some states we find that companies are routinely polluting methane without permits - completely off the books - while agencies turn a blind eye /3 earthworks.org/publications/f…
Long story short methane gas is NOT CLEAN and is NOT a climate solution. Some experts say that if you factor in the whole methane picture energy produced by gas is dirtier than coal! /4 spglobal.com/marketintellig…
Yet rather than clean up their act #fossilfuel companies like @exxonmobil @Shell @bp_plc & @Chevron have spent millions of dollars cleaning up their image, obscuring the facts, and delaying meaningful action while the #climatecrisis intensifies. /5 earthworks.org/TricksoftheTra…
The climate crisis is here and we need @POTUS to act with the urgency that this moment demands. That means:
1⃣Order @EPA to #cutmethane from ALL wells
2⃣Declare a climate emergency
3⃣End #oilandgas permitting
