Satellite sees hot spot of methane in US Southwest

That result hints that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and other agencies considerably underestimate leaks of methane, which is also called natural gas.

The higher level of methane is not a local safety or a health issue for residents, but factors in overall global warming. It is likely leakage from pumping methane out of coal mines. While methane isn't the most plentiful heat-trapping gas, scientists worry about its increasing amounts and have had difficulties tracking emissions.

A satellite image of atmospheric methane concentrations over the continental U.S. shows the hot spot as a bright red blip over the Four Corners area of New Mexico, Colorado, Arizona and Utah. The image used data from 2003 to 2009.

Within that hot spot, a European satellite found atmospheric methane concentrations equivalent to emissions of about 1.3 million pounds a year. That's about 80 percent more than the EPA figured. Other ground-based studies have calculated that EPA estimates were off by 50 percent.

The methane concentration in the hot spot was more than triple the amount previously estimated by European scientists.

The amount of methane in the Four Corners — an area covering about 2,500 square miles — would trap more heat in the atmosphere than all the carbon dioxide produced yearly in Sweden. That's because methane is 86 times more potent for trapping heat in the short-term than carbon dioxide.

Hey everyone!

Maaaannnn...I feel 100 times better tonight.

Better than I have felt in weeks.

Not sure why...but hey...I'll take it.

I hope things are going well with all of you!

Maannn...what's up with the ring of fire?

In central Tacoma, Stevens St and Tylers St Cross. Every once in a great while, an Aerosmith song will be on the raido, when I happen to driving by. I freak out every time. Happens about three times a year.

Drink lots of fluids....BTW how is grandma doing?

Lekker : )

Grandma is doing much better. Still looks rough, but she is soooo much better than she was when she got here on Monday.

I think she may even be ready to play cards this weekend, lol. She loves cards. I'll play a game with her tonight or tomorrow if she's up for it.

That is a cute smilie. I know it says snogging but it looks like they are rubbing each other's heads

I thought it was a cute hug...
