Methane Emissions Remain Far Above Levels Needed to Curb Climate Catastrophe
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

In climate news, the International Energy Agency warns methane emissions
remain at near-record highs. The agency said, "A 75% cut in methane
emissions from fossil fuels by 2030 is imperative to stop the planet
from warming to a dangerous level." The oil industry is the largest
producer of methane, and the U.S. is the largest emitter of methane from
oil and gas.
