Damage Report: LA Methane Leak Is One of the Worst Disasters In US History (inhabitat.com)

MikeChino writes: A week after the ruptured natural gas well in Aliso Canyon was finally declared sealed, we have a full account of the damage — and it doesn't look good. In total, 97,100 metric tons of methane were released into the atmosphere over the course of 112 days — the equivalent greenhouse gas emissions of over half a million cars.

Can we PLEASE stop using these radicalized leftist enviro-whackjob websites for "news?" There's enough bias in that article to make a 2kV MOV conduct.

This is all good.

The enviro-left is burning through what credibility it has left like tripping hippies.

Here's some facts... a whole page of trend lines from a respected government authority all of them trending up.

To be fair though, it's pretty hard not to go right to the insults when you've had the discussion a thousand times before and the opposition has the same level of argument as a chimp flinging it's faeces at you.

But you know, all arguments need equal consideration, so once you're done refuting my theory that global warming is really caused by The Fonz losing his cool, we can look at yours again.

Meanwhile, in FIFTEEN years the temp has gone up ... [wait for it] ... HALF a degree. I live near the ocean. Very close. I keep waiting for the water level to rise and rise. I'm still waiting. Just saying. Cue the rabid, foaming at the mouth, defensive and insecure "scientists."
