CUT METHANE

Carbon Dioxide emissions have fallen 12% in the U.S from 2005 to 2019, but recent studies of methane emissions have determined that oil and gas facilities are emitting methane at rates vastly underestimated by the EPA and state governments. Methane is 87 times more potent a heat-trapping gas than carbon dioxide over a 20 year time period and researchers at Cornell University recently published a study concluding that from 2014-2018 Pennsylvania officials underestimated methane leakage by 15%. Please tell your federal elected officials you are concerned that allowing methane pollution to increase will lead to the further acceleration of climate chaos.
