While “natural” gas is mostly composed of methane, a greenhouse gas that’s 80 times more potent than carbon dioxide during its first 20 years in the atmosphere, Ebel and his industry counterparts have succeeded in minimizing the perception of its climate impact.

By ratifying the 2015 Paris Agreement, [1] nations across the world made a commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions by at least 40% by the year 2030. Carbon dioxide is one of the primary greenhouse gases found in the Earth’s atmosphere, accounting for 76% of global greenhouse gas emissions according to published reports.

It’s now widely acknowledged that to avoid catastrophic climate change we’ll need to physically remove CO2 from the atmosphere. By mid-century onwards, as much as 1 billion tonnes of carbon will need to be removed from the atmosphere each year. But ocean-based interventions have also been contentious.

We should expect to hear more, as climate impacts are only going to get worse.
