Wow, I learned so much. Great science explainer. Loved the incredible graphics, the music, the frog audio, the "bottom up estimation" description, and the information about archae. The graphic presentation of the different sources of methane was ingenious. Glad it was 10 minutes to fully cover the topic. This should be used in classrooms !
Indeed 😊
Excellent! I didn't know that Methane breaks down into Carbon Dioxide, and Fossil fuel generated Methane stays in the atmosphere longer. Keep up the good work!
This is part of why I’m so happy that the US Congress passes methane carbon pricing as part of the inflation reduction act last year!
I hope that it helps generate funds which we can then devote to infrastructure changes which will eliminate these sources of methane getting into the atmosphere!
Thank you for these uploads ! Keep doing it!
Thanks for the support!
Amazing video and great animations!
Awesome explanation! Y'all should collab with the folks that make the American Chemical Society's Reactions videos
Thanks! We did a collab with them a long time ago, I'll check out their recent stuff.
Someone needs to show this to the WEF so they can stop their war on cows
I like the term "fossil gas" instead of "natural gas" 🤔
When you measure the amount of methane coming from a cow you would also have to take all the grass and feed that those cows ate and let it die and ferment and see how much methane came from that. Then subtract that amount of methane from the amount of methane the cow has given off. Have they done that?
Thank you so much. Great Vid ❤
Glad you enjoyed it!
excellent!
Externalization, a complicated economic term that means I pollute, you pay, and take someone else's take money for more profits. It keeps the economy rolling eh 🤑
Oh my.
The CO2 seems to be so tightly packed it can make heat escape again.
Probaly.
Preconceived notions are not helpful and there are a couple of classic examples of this in interplanetary exploration. Probes have have shown that atmospheric carbon dioxide levels on Venus (96.5%) and Mars (96.0%) could not have been caused by the burning of 'fossil' fuels.
Furthermore, we must ask: just how prevalent is atmospheric methane in our solar system?
Earth …….. 2 ppm (parts per million)
Jupiter ….. 3,000 ppm
Saturn ..… 4,000 ppm
Neptune .. 15,000 ppm
Uranus …. 23,000 ppm
Saturn's moon, Titan, hosts gigantic lakes brimming with liquid methane, constantly replenished by methane rain. Methane is not a 'fossil fuel' and is not biogenic in origin. What's the point of the NASA space program if its results are simply ignored?
But wait! What about this well=documented association?
Jupiter 0.3% methane ; 10% helium
Saturn 0.4% “ ; 3% “
Uranus 2.3% “ ; 15% “
Neptune 1.5% “ ; 19% “
Earth 0.002% “ ; 0.005% “
And that is why se collect methane from cows
Eat less meat and use less fuel.
Eat ze bugZ 🐛🪲
How about using cows for milk production? Like In india
How much was released when my government hit the nordstream pipeline
I’m not sure how much it helps policy makers to talk about how fossil fuel methane however perceived is worse-so cows generally rely lots on fossil fuels and rice to lesser extent&bla bla bla philosophy+odd math maybe obscures bigger points that matter lots to those in the midst of these big global policy statements and national and even sub national policy decisions🤪
Upper atmospheric methane behavior in particular and other details should obviously be understood better always whenever possible obviously…
I call BULL 💩 on these claims.
Please. We have less cows after 1982 when our problems began. Our excess methane has nothing to do with cows!
That’s literally what he says in the video. The methane produced by cows decays to carbon dioxide and water, and is reabsorbed by plants.
The carbon dioxide pulled from beneath shale via oil and gas takes a lot longer to leave the atmosphere.
