The Nord Stream explosion provoked the largest-ever methane release yet it was a fraction of the methane released by the oil & gas industry.

      As far as I know valves were shut quickly. The big leak was a result of remaining gas (under pressure?) between the valves that could escape. It was a lot, as the pipes run for 100s of km under the sea, so even with valves shut there was just a lot gas in the pipe.

    What a shit article. Seriously. It’s just babble about methane and weird comparisons and not about why it would be “twice as bad” (not big) or I just gave up after 8 pages of crap.

    Why do people upvote this kind of crap?
