Every time we hear about methane the story gets a little worse, which means the truth will be a lot worse, which is why the industry is pushing hard on natgas now. Recently they’ve taken to calling it “low carbon gas” to keep the focus on CO2. https://twitter.com/GlobalEcoGuy/status/1380914220150181897

Dr. Jonathan Foley@GlobalEcoGuy

Methane has risen by *over 150%* and is accelerating.

For reference, CO2 has risen 50%.

We need to *dramatically* reduce methane emissions to have a chance of keeping the planet below 1.5-2 C. This includes methane from animals, rice, landfills, and the energy industry. https://twitter.com/robbie_andrew/status/1380788370771750913

Methane is increasing at a rate 3 x more than CO2 and will cause 80 x more warming in the next 20 years! Our children are depending on us to act.

We need all-electric buildings
gas transition plans, and
to stop dirty energy infrustructure.

Update from Enbridge: "The Weymouth Compressor Station’s compressor unit is not currently operating at this time. We will return the Weymouth Compressor Station’s compressor unit to service once we have further verified its continued ability to safely and reliably operate." https://twitter.com/MiriamWasser/status/1379517153783779336

Here's what we know so far about today's unplanned gas release at the Weymouth Compressor -- which, unfortunately, isn't much.

I will update as more information becomes available #mapoli
