As a greenhouse gas, however, Opteon is thousands of times more warming of the environment over a 20-year period than carbon dioxide. Credit: Michael Martin/NHLI via Getty Images

Can California Reduce Dairy Methane Emissions Equitably?

By Liza Gross

Remote sensing of methane from high altitude aircraft reveals plumes of the gas coming from the open face, on the left, and from a vent, on the right, at the River Birch landfill outside New Orleans in April 2021. Researchers from the University of Arizona, Arizona State University, NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, and Carbon Mapper calculate the rate of methane venting at approximately 2,000 kilograms per hour, which would be 48 metric tons per day.
