This has been the issue with methane for a while: it's worthless at the wellhead because there's a huge amount being extracted.

Given how miserable the extraction is to be around, it would really help to have a way to create regional prosperity without the extraction.

 

I'll note that the last attempt was by somebody who was basically a nihilist school shooter type who saw that he might be particularly famous if he killed the President.

Although Africa produces only a fraction of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions, Africans bear an exceptionally heavy burden from climate change, according to the World Meteorological Organization.

And adapting to it will cost sub-Saharan Africa $30 billion to $50 billion annually over the next decade, or 2 to 3 percent of the region’s gross domestic product, it said.

“The impact of climate change is what we’re witnessing right now,” said Olasunkanmi Okunola, a scientist whose study focuses on flood risk management and climate adaptation. “There’s no way we can prevent major disasters from happening, but there are steps we can take to lessen the effect.”

or...they're Zionists in the sense that they think the state of Israel should exist on part of the land it occupied in antiquity, and believe that Jews should have political rights, rather than wanting territorial expansion of Israel above all else.

Using Zionist to refer only to the latter fundamentally alienates the very people who might be able to make peace.

It's a disease which seems to have a twice-a-year surge. It makes sense to mask when indoors and outside your home during surges

It's an announcement of a series of articles which do talk about the headline in detail.
