To produce LNG, natural gas, more than 80% of which comes from hydraulic fracturing (“fracking”) in the United States, is liquified by cooling it to -162 o Celsius (-260 o Farenheit).

Even if there is water available, heat waves can cause the water sources to be too hot, which can reduce the plant’s efficiency or even cause unsafe operating conditions because the plant can’t be adequately cooled.

For some parts of the spectrum, the IR can be either absorbed by CO 2 or by water vapour or by clouds, but taking those overlaps into account we find that 50% of the greenhouse effect is from water vapour, 25% from clouds, and about 20% from CO 2 and the rest absorbed by ozone, aerosols, and other trace gases ( Schmidt et al, 2010 ).
