  • Everything you need to know about the extremely powerful greenhouse gas.

    Wow, I learned so much. Great science explainer. Loved the incredible graphics, the music, the frog audio, the "bottom up estimation" description, and the information about archae. The graphic presentation of the different sources of methane was ingenious. Glad it was 10 minutes to fully cover the topic. This should be used in classrooms !

    Excellent! I didn't know that Methane breaks down into Carbon Dioxide, and Fossil fuel generated Methane stays in the atmosphere longer. Keep up the good work!

    This is part of why I’m so happy that the US Congress passes methane carbon pricing as part of the inflation reduction act last year!
    I hope that it helps generate funds which we can then devote to infrastructure changes which will eliminate these sources of methane getting into the atmosphere!

    Someone needs to show this to the WEF so they can stop their war on cows

    I like the term "fossil gas" instead of "natural gas" 🤔

    Awesome explanation! Y'all should collab with the folks that make the American Chemical Society's Reactions videos

      Thanks! We did a collab with them a long time ago, I'll check out their recent stuff.

    Externalization, a complicated economic term that means I pollute, you pay, and take someone else's take money for more profits. It keeps the economy rolling eh 🤑

    Oh my.
    The CO2 seems to be so tightly packed it can make heat escape again.
    Probaly.

    And that is why se collect methane from cows

    I’m not sure how much it helps policy makers to talk about how fossil fuel methane however perceived is worse-so cows generally rely lots on fossil fuels and rice to lesser extent&bla bla bla philosophy+odd math maybe obscures bigger points that matter lots to those in the midst of these big global policy statements and national and even sub national policy decisions🤪

      Upper atmospheric methane behavior in particular and other details should obviously be understood better always whenever possible obviously…

    Eat less meat and use less fuel.

      How about using cows for milk production? Like In india

  • @andreasilverthorne785
    @andreasilverthorne785 Před rokem +3

    Please. We have less cows after 1982 when our problems began. Our excess methane has nothing to do with cows!

      That’s literally what he says in the video. The methane produced by cows decays to carbon dioxide and water, and is reabsorbed by plants.
      The carbon dioxide pulled from beneath shale via oil and gas takes a lot longer to leave the atmosphere.

    How much was released when my government hit the nordstream pipeline
