Why Nobody Knows How Much Methane Is Leaking

Methane has 80 times the global warming power of carbon dioxide, and huge amounts spew into the atmosphere daily. In this segment from Getting Warmer, Kal Penn breaks down what you need to know about the gas, the surprising places it’s leaking from and why fixing methane leaks is one of the quickest and cheapest ways to slow global warming.

Getting Warmer is Bloomberg's exclusive new show about climate, clean energy and business, anchored by actor and former White House aide Kal Penn.
Accompany him on his journey as he takes an up-close look at bold climate solutions and discovers new facets of the global transition to clean energy.
In a hosted studio segment, Penn sifts through the overwhelming news about our climate and breaks down the facts and trends to understand with a dose of humor and optimism. Why are the recycling symbols on your plastic cups misleading? How does the carbon credit market work and does it actually help? And what is the future of water in a drought-ridden world?
On the road, Penn meets the innovators, researchers, communities and businesses pivoting to new energy sources and spearheading low-carbon technologies. In documentary segments, Penn speaks to the self-declared “crypto cowboys” of Texas who claim Bitcoin mining can help stabilize the state’s troubled electrical grid, and travels to Nevada to visit the company attempting to build America’s first closed-loop supply chain for electric vehicles. In New York, Penn explores the urban designs proposed to save the city from the next Superstorm Sandy and goes inside New York’s Empire State building to investigate the challenges of decarbonizing our cities and landmarks.
The show builds on, and includes contributions from, Bloomberg Green’s award-winning team of climate journalists as well as London-based climate storytellers Jack Harries and Alice Aedy. With a focus on the most pressing questions for young viewers, Jack and Alice unpack one big idea each episode. From recycled wastewater to regenerative agriculture and the challenges of a just transition for workers in the energy sector, they’ll break down how countries across the world are finding intriguing solutions to our climate crisis, and outline the challenges ahead.
Watch Getting Warmer starting February 1st at 8p EST streaming on Bloomberg channels on Connected TV Devices including Samsung TV+, LG Channels, and Fire TV. And on & Bloomberg.com.
You can also watch on Bloomberg TV (BTV) at 10p ET.

Im guessing White Castle is off the menu?

[@OldScientist]

CH4 is only 0.00019% (1.9 parts per million) of the atmosphere. Both of its narrow absorption bands occur at wavelengths where H2O is already absorbing substantially. Hence, any radiation that CH4 might absorb has already been absorbed by H2O. With the concentration of water vapour in the atmosphere being between 1,000 and 20,000 times greater than CH4, the effects of CH4 are completely masked by H2O.

Let’s just blame the cows 😂

[@RobbieTao-fl5fo]

Blame the morons who pay for the product to be in demand.. do you realise how many cows exist because of human greed??

[@derodge]

Then what do we do about natural Methane being released in the atmosphere?

[@noirsake8057]

Focus. Stop chasing random cars.

[@LarryMoffett]

Nothing. Humans interfering with nature is what got us and the planet into this mess.

[@Melvinnn11]

Fake news

[@justbe1451]

Don't talk about carbon footprint on meat until all private jets do not fly.

[@101yayo]

We never talk about the carbon footprint of the military.

[@noirsake8057]

The technology doesn't exist for that. But keep it up. You and the slow kids will get there one day.

[@LarryMoffett]

The video is neither about meat nor about jet fuel, it's about fugitive emissions from gas infrastructure.

[@clicheguevara5282]

When did Kumar become a propagandist? 😂

[@stephenshuman1]

It was the White Castle burgers
