  1. > _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.
