YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThe source of emissions in South Asia is different than in the US or Russia, which are major fossil fuel producers. In those countries, the lion’s share of releases observed by satellite is linked to leaks from oil, gas and coal operations. Last year, more than half of all methane emissions measured globally from landfills by Canada-based monitoring company GHGSat Inc. were in Asia. India accounted for nearly a quarter of the total.

More clouds of the powerful greenhouse gas — which has 84 times the warming power of carbon dioxide over its first 20 years in the atmosphere — were spotted in India than any other country except for the US during the first half of this year, according to European Space Agency satellite observations analyzed by Kayrros SAS. Pakistan ranked fourth and Bangladesh sixth.
