Sir, Pilita Clark (\u201cClimate Science looks to unlikely ally\u201d, March 17) is incorrect in arguing that President Donald Trump\u2019s pro natural gas policies may help mitigate climate change.
\nClark misses two key problems associated with natural gas policies in the Trump administration. First, methane leakage. Numerous studies (see for example the US Environmental Protection Agency\u2019s recent inventory; the Environmental Defense Fund\u2019s excellent studies; and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration\u2019s surprising 2014 study) and meta-analyses have found that most, and perhaps all, of the reduced carbon dioxide emissions associated with increased natural gas
\nuse and production are offset by increased methane emissions.
\nThe Republican leadership in Congress has weakened the Obama administration's efforts to reduce methane emissions. Congress recently invalidated critical EPA regulations that targeted a subset of upstream methane emissions. Congress is currently considering the invalidation of a US Bureau of Land Management regulation that addressed natural gas venting, flaring, and leakages on federal and tribal lands.<\/p>\n<\/header>\n
