anlomedad<p>Y'all know how countries use creative accounting when reporting greenhouse gases to UNFCCC? <br>Especially their natural carbon sinks are overestimated regarding CO2. <br>I once checked Canada and Russia regarding their reporting of CO2 in sinks vs the steep increase in recent years of forest and peat fires. The reporting does not reflect this at all. </p><p>But enough of that outrage. <br>Here's a brand new reality check on methane emissions as reported to UNFCCC versus scientific analysis<br>"Comparison of observation- and inventory-based methane emissions for eight large global emitters" , <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/Petrescu" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Petrescu</span></a>, <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/GlenPeters" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GlenPeters</span></a> et al 2024<br><a href="https://essd.copernicus.org/articles/16/4325/2024/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">essd.copernicus.org/articles/1</span><span class="invisible">6/4325/2024/</span></a></p><p>It shows how the comparison of scientific analysis versus reporting by the EU is quite congruent! Commendable and surprising. <br>While all others write fantasy novels in their reporting. </p><p>Very happy that we have these reality checks by scientists ❤️ </p><p><a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/methane" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>methane</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/CH4" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CH4</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/UNFCCC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>UNFCCC</span></a></p>
