Guardian: When Stephen Conley, an atmospheric scientist and pilot, saw an emissions indicator skyrocket in his Mooney TLS prop plane, he knew he had found a significant methane leak. His gas-detecting Picarro analyzer indicated he was flying through a plume of gas escaping at 900kg per hour. The colorless, odorless gas was enough to cover a football field to a height of 20 feet in a single day. But this flight wasnt over the highly publicized Aliso Canyon in Los Angeles; Conley was circling the Bakken Shale,...

Californias Gas Gusher is Stanched, But Where are Tougher U.S. Rules on Leaks?
2016-02-18 19:42:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
New York Times: What does it take to jog federal and state leaders to toughen rules curbing industrial pollution? When the industry is energy and the pollutant, methane, is invisible to the naked eye, it seems to take an awful lot.
