When we talk about the climate emergency, we focus in on CO2, a long-lived gas whose release will eventually roast our planet and boil us all in our own skin. But a potentially more important threat is methane, which 84 times more greenhouse-y than CO2.

Thankfully, methane's effects taper off quickly as the gas breaks down, which means that if we can get a handle on methane release, it will cease to be a threat in short order.

Reuters has just published a first-of-its-kind analysis of a dataset of observed methane emissions from different oil and gas companies' facilities and wells, imaged by high-resolution satellite cameras.

The worst liars are Shell, Chevron, Conoco Phillips, Marathon Oil and Exxon Mobil. Contacted by Reuters, spokescriminals representing each of these companies defender corporate genocide with a string of lies, each more risible and ghastly than the last.
