The Report by the Parliamentary Commissioner for the Environment on methane emissions which is in the form of a ‘Note’ by Andy Reisinger is more confirmation of how confused scientists are about methane and its impact on global warming. The … [Read more...]
Diagram showing stable methane emissions are effectively net zero. Click to download
Climate Change Minister Confused.
Climate Change Minister James Shaw has responded to a letter I sent him with a diagram showing that when methane is in constant flow it is effectively at net zero because all emissions of methane are offset fully by the oxidation of methane … [Read more...]
