Methane is worse than coal for climate change. The evidence is clear. Worse yet, the natural gas industry gamed the system to create the idea of "clean" natural gas. It isn't! www.desmog.com/2026/07/20/h...
How Big Oil Spent Decades Selling the Myth of ‘Clean’ Natural Gas
A new report reveals oil and gas companies knew as early as the mid-1970s that methane fueled climate change while launching massive PR campaigns to promote natural gas as clean energy.

One again, NBC news reporting on the heat wave ignores, climate change.
GHG emissions are still increasing despite the enormous build out of renewable energy.
Oilfield Witness@oilfieldwitness.bsky.social · last mo."Including emissions from the energy sector and from gas flaring and methane, global emissions rose by 1.1% to 41 billion tonnes of CO2 equivalent. The U.S. accounted for 36% of that increase, with total emissions growth of 3.2% year-on-year, compared with 0.3% in China."
This is the future Big Oil built for us. Fossil fuel companies knew decades ago that their products would drive increasingly severe and frequent heatwaves, droughts, and wildfires, but lied to protect their own profits at the expense of public health and safety. The public deserves accountability.
