It is depressingly ironic that natural gas leaks are such a major climate problem, and one so easy to solve by simple, but expensive, plumbing. We have a huge problem with gas leakage as a result of trying to cut emissions and wean ourselves from coal. Only now with satellite methane monitoring do we have a way to find big sudden leaks internationally.
Russia will never willingly deal with it. So why should we even try to work or CO2?
On the morning of Friday, June 4, an underground gas pipeline running through the ancient state of Tatarstan sprang a leak. And not a small one.
In a different era, the massive leak might have gone unnoticed.
NO NOT ANCIENT TATARSTAN
Very nice interactive graphics on this WAPO major report!
