In this paper, I estimate* that if methane emissions from US natural gas infrastructure were a country, they'd be the 8th-highest greenhouse gas emitter in the world.
*Using methane's 100-year GWP and likely underestimating downstream emissions from electricity/industry/transport.

New paper. I wish this wasn't the case, but most progress on reducing US greenhouse gas emissions is likely spurious. Why? EPA underestimates methane emissions from oil and gas. Relevant today as Repubs vote to gut IRA's methane monitoring/mitigation program. 🧵
