Climate stat of the day: Big Oil's profits were 20x larger than EPA budget in 2022.

At #COP27 we are thrilled to announce a new $8M initiative to deliver a global #methane baseline assessment of thousands of solid waste sites, filling a big data gap.

Big thanks to the Grantham Foundation for its support. #methanemomentum

THIS JUST IN: As a direct result of surveys detecting #methaneemissions 44 California facilities voluntarily took corrective actions preventing the equivalent of 1.2M tons of CO2e from escaping into the atmosphere. @AirResources @NASAJPL https://t.co/Cj2fTWm9jV

Now live via @Voxdotcom #Unexplainable @carbonmapper helps untangle the complicated web of growing #methane emissions, the super-emitters responsible for them, and how mitigating methane from #oilandgas requires an on-the-ground & in-the-air approach. https://t.co/TaworwwO4Z

Growth in atmospheric methane is worrisome but according to @carbonmapper CEO @rileyduren, we have knowledge to pinpoint and act on major sources of emissions. Via @Nature @EDFEnergyEX 🛰️🌎https://t.co/yhmk4Gtvaz

With a new US GHG monitoring and measurement interagency working group @ClimateTRACE, @CarbonMapper, and other solutions to make emissions transparent and therefore actionable offer important lessons the @WhiteHouse should consider. Via @RMIEmissions https://t.co/dlbjX6RmLa

New @carbonmapper + partner research finds fixing colossal and unnecessary methane leaks could yield economic benefits and would produce clear climate and health benefits for relatively low costs.” via @WashingtonPost https://t.co/KqhDZ48hqq

Tomorrow join @carbonmapper CEO Riley Duren for an online event by @CalChinaClimate focused on ways the U.S. and China can deliver on their joint declaration to tackle #climatechange and mitigate #methane with technology and policy. Register now: https://t.co/LNnCLYm8UZ

[CarbonMapper @carbonmapper]

30 facilities make up <.001% of the Permian region’s oil and gas infrastructure, yet they produce the same climate pollution as > a half million passenger vehicles! Fixing these leaks can advance U.S. goals under the #GlobalMethanePledge. @EnvDefenseFund https://t.co/S6Pmybaxqg

[CarbonMapper @carbonmapper]

Success stories of #methane detection and rapid mitigation should instill confidence among leaders that data completeness and transparency can yield meaningful emissions reductions and a positive #climateimpact. @AirResources @RMI https://t.co/bRPQ8xBBgU

[CarbonMapper @carbonmapper]

#GlobalMethanePledge & #coal pledge = critical 1st steps. Now the hard part. New GHG monitoring systems can guide & verify ACTION. Make emissions visible!

Together with @BloombergDotOrg @carbonmapper + @NASAJPL @Planet @RockyMtnInst @uarizona, @ASU, @AirResources, and HighTide Foundation we’re accelerating efforts to pinpoint, quantify, and diagnose sources of high-emission methane and CO2 globally. https://t.co/qlucX3s0Oh

[Climate TRACE @ClimateTRACE]

Congratulations to coalition member @wattTime on today's announcement with @madebygoogle. Bringing #emissions intelligence into everyday devices such as the Nest #thermostat to help customers support a #cleanenergy future. 🌎

[Climate TRACE @ClimateTRACE]

Our newly released data shows that more than 11% of global #ghg #emissions come from oil & gas production and refining—and is higher than previously reported. @DxGordon and @francesreuland from coalition member @RockyMtnInst dig deeper: https://t.co/fs08v5nnef

[Kelly Vaughn @KellyAVaughn]

Emissions from oil and gas have been too opaque for too long. Today’s launch of @ClimateTRACE gives us clearer answers at a global scale about the origins and amounts of GHGs in the atmosphere making it easier for countries to act. https://t.co/H96N3yLCM3

[Kelly Vaughn @KellyAVaughn]

Congratulations to the @ClimateTRACE coalition and my friends at @RockyMtnInst for the release of the world's 1st global independent inventory of up-to-date #emissions sources. Big step in enabling meaningful #climate action! https://t.co/PlhyoupqMe

[Kelly Vaughn @KellyAVaughn]

Voluntary actions to mitigate methane in the O&G industry are effective yet inadequate to curb the #climatecrisis. Putting a price on CH4 can catalyze operational improvement + leak repair. More via @DxGordon @RockyMtnInst @BRINKNewsNow
