I mean, anyone who was convinced otherwise was delusional. We've always known that methane has a substantially higher short-term impact on GHG emissions than carbon dioxide. We've also known for years now that natural gas is notorious for leaking obscene amounts of methane (even compared to coal mining per unit energy). That hasn't stopped us from tapping and consuming more gas: in fact, total US fossil fuel electricity production has increased by 40% over the plateau in the 1970s-2000s.

In the short-term, we are incredibly, incredibly fucked. Eventually, methane decays and whatnot, but that might be too little, too late.

Natural gas, well-known for being a clean source of energy:

Leaks Can Make Natural Gas as Bad for the Climate as Coal, a Study Says

Study: Methane leaks from U.S. oil-and-gas region worse than estimates

I'm sure someone will try to tell me why increasing natural gas production is a good thing or that this is tankie propaganda in support of coal.

I guess they all forgot to condemn Hamas or something. That, of course, entirely justified murdering them all.

Al-Shifa lost power, what, 5 days ago? Prior to that, the MRI machine would presumably have been on. Anyone with ANY experience in a hospital should know that MRI machines and metals (like guns, ammunition) REALLY don't mix.

User with "get fucked" on their profile, truly the paragon of positive and complimentary comments.

I'm sure lemmy.world will try to justify this because of the existence of one supposed Hamas militant on the premises.

Unarmed. Visiting their family.
