#2Ouch! They’re estimating 131 kt of methane! That’s equivalent to approx 3.93 Megatons of CO2 (in terms of its global warming impact over a century) or roughly equivalent to that of a small country like Iceland or Malta annually.

3.93 megatons of CO2 is roughly equivalent to:
• About 149,714 short-haul flights, or
• About 37,429 long-haul flights.Re: Multisatellite data depicts a record-breaking methane leak from a well blowout

We will but not at our current numbers. Rich countries will suffer the most.
