Agreed. The general trend of switching to natural gas has led to the release of a lot of methane, which is notorious for leaking during drilling, transport, and storage.
This is much worse than carbon dioxide and has been going on for decades. Methane will continue to rise within the atmosphere and cause further warming for decades even if we stopped releasing it today.
Indeed, and with the permafrost melting up north there’s a huge release of methane already under way. We may have kicked off chain reactions that we have no hope of arresting.
