> _The leakage could be equivalent to one-third of Denmark’s total annual greenhouse gas emissions, head of the Danish Energy Agency Kristoffer Böttzauw said. Danish emissions in 2020 were about 45 million tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2)._
For reference, Chinas emissions are **9,877** million tonnes / year
So this gas leak estimated at 15 million tonnes (1/3 Denmarks yearly) is less than 1/60 of China’s, i.e. less than 6 days, so less than a regular week in China Monday to Saturday.
I didn’t even count the rest of the world yet, just China. Its still bad of course, but let’s keep it in perspective.
Putin really is one evil third rate movie villain…
But great for Europe security
methane is more environmentally harming than CO2, that is why we burn the stuff if we cant store it.
