"The oil and gas industry has had a far worse impact on the climate than
previously believed, according to a study indicating that human
emissions of fossil methane have been underestimated by up to 40%.

Although the research will add to pressure on fossil fuel companies,
scientists said there was cause for hope because it showed a big extra
benefit could come from tighter regulation of the industry and a faster
shift towards renewable energy."
