Methane Leaks Multiplying Beneath Antarctic Ocean Spark Fears of Climate Doom Loop
Leigh Tait – Earth Sciences NZ A potent greenhouse gas has begun seeping out of the Antarctic seafloor in dozens of places, scientists have discovered. Researchers documented the emergence of these methane seeps in shallow regions of the Ross Sea, a bay off the southern coast of Antarctica. The patches of leaking gas could be caused by global warming, and they could also threaten to accelerate it further, according to a new study published Oct. 1 in the journal Nature […] -
Feds Are Downplaying #MethaneLeaks in America’s Biggest #OilField, Satellite Data Suggests
A report found #MethaneEmissions in the #PermianBasin to be nearly four times higher than #EPA estimates. A senator wants an explanation.
By Ellyn Lapointe
Published March 20, 2026"#FossilFuel extraction is a known source of #methane leaks, releasing large amounts of this potent #GreenhouseGas into the atmosphere. Yet the Environmental Protection Agency appears to be drastically underreporting emissions from the nation’s largest oil-producing region.
"Nearly half of U.S. oil comes from the Permian Basin in West #Texas and southeastern #NewMexico. The region generates more than $100 billion annually for the U.S. economy, and apparently, a whole lot of methane, too. A recent report from #MethaneSAT—a methane-sensing satellite that observed Earth from March 2024 to June 2025—found emissions from the Permian Basin to be nearly four times higher than the EPA’s official estimates."
