I had just seen this article and was thinking about it when I saw your new thread! What do you think we can do to stop this? Is there a chance?
Just a couple of links on methane. I passed out a great deal of information on methane years ago but it was linked to my work as an animal advocate. It seems to be unregulated in factory faring which apparently contributes the most methane into the atmosphere. So I'm sharing one source which comes from HSUS but the other is from thinkprogress.

Time machine. Short of that, support every Democratic congressional candidate (even the so-so ones, they're better than the alternative), and avoid trash-talking whomever is the Democratic nominee in 2020.
I know that's going to be hard for some people, but give it a try, okay?
These are the members of Congress who, by my count, have Tweeted against easing methane restrictions. There are none from NJ. We should demand that Booker, Menendez and Payne speak out. And in questions to Kavanaugh about his horrible record on climate change, this new outrage should be referenced:
Amy Klobuchar
Chris Murphy
Ed Markey
Patty Murray
Bill Nelson
Martin Heinrich
Jeff Merkely
Dan Beyer
Adam Schiff
Chris Von Hollen
Rick Larsen
Ted Deutch
Tulsi Gabbard
Bernie Sanders

One factor in having to deal with these threats to the environment (among other threats) is that "failure to tweet" is considered a greater sin than "failure to support the Democratic nominee".

Methane's effect on global warming is 25-30 times greater than CO2.
