Have you seen Bill McKIbben's article "Global Warming's Terrifying New Chemistry" in The Nation?

The layperson's take-away:

We all, including EPA, have been badly under-reporting methane emission.

New data suggests that rather than reducing greenhouse gas effects in recent years, they may have actually increased.

Conclusion: every bit of fosil fuels - including coal, oil, and now most notably natural gas - must stay in the ground.

Conclusion: referring to gas as a "bridge fuel" is absurd at best, subversive at worst.

I would love to see how we can reboot some of our energy work in West Virginia to reflect this "terrifying new chemistry."
