  1. Toxic gas putting millions at risk in Middle East, BBC finds bbc.co.uk/news/science-environ

    Ayup.

    The regional scale map is very telling - so much flaring going on even though everyone knows a) it’s wasteful, b) it adds CO2, c) it adds air pollutants. Yet it remains unaddressed.

    It’s almost like capitalism or something has taken hold in the region.

  2. Hypocrisy, and thumbing their noses at the world and planet - " #Cop28 host #UAE breaking its own ban on routine #gas flaring, data shows" - Guardian Exclusive - "Fields run by #climate summit host have burned gas near daily despite 20-year-old pledge, satellite monitoring reveals - State-run oil and gas fields in the United Arab Emirates have been flaring gas virtually daily despite having committed 20 years ago to a policy of zero routine flaring, the Guardian can reveal ... One field, Adnoc #LNG, flared gas on more than 99% of the days monitored by satellite from 2018 to 2022, according to data produced for the Guardian by the Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air (Crea). One expert said this was not routine flaring “by any normal definition”.

    The analysis assessed flaring in 32 oil and gas fields in the UAE, 20 of which are run by Adnoc. It shows four fields flared on at least 97% of the days for which data was available, which was most days as measurements were interrupted by cloud cover on only one day in five."

  5. @anuckols yes. I remember i briefly visited a village in the #NigerDelta in #Nigeria in 2002 and seeing one of those #GasFlares (#GasFlaring not the same as methane itself being emitted but also bad) burning day and night, for decades, and how surreal and horrible it was, locally. Gas flaring too would be relatively easy to stop but it hasn’t been done. The #FossilFuel political economy really is monstrous

    [I do wonder how, say, USA, Middle East, etc fossil fuel-related methane emissions would have looked decades ago if we had had these technologies – and the inclination(s) – to measure them]
    “New satellite methods allow to identify 29 super-emitters in Turkmenistan, most of them linked to inactive flaring venting massive amounts of gas…”

  15. 'Ali died days before he could challenge #BP’s CEO on the dangers of #GasFlaring. Don’t let his death be in vain -
    The 21-year-old Iraqi, who lived by a smoke-choked oilfield, died of cancer before he got to address the #FossilFuel giant’s shareholders. His message must be heard' theguardian.com/commentisfree/ #ClimateCrisis #Environment #Health
