Engineering360: "Methane’s Increasing Greenhouse Effect at the Earth’s Surface is Documented"

Methane is at least 2 to 4 times worse for global warming than is carbon dioxide...

Burning-off methane breaks down methane into smaller quantities of oxygen, hydrogen, carbon dioxide, water, etc., molecules, which, on average, are much less damaging to the atmosphere than is methane...

As an affordable stop-gap, time-buying, measure, why not mitigate the effects of methane by wide-spread efforts to burn it off, until better process(es) are developed?...

They better be careful. If the Trump administration hears of this research, they may lose their funding.

I rather think that, if someone got a grant to conduct a relatively small-scale study to quantify the results of burning off the (soil gases) of a single Landfill, say, and made at least small amount of profit in the process, then (the Trump Administration) might well fund a larger effort in order to create a few more jobs while reversing air pollution in the process, or at least invite crowd-sourcing efforts to pursue such alternatives...

..such as installing wind mills and solar panels both on the landfill, as well...

In any case, what is your best suggested solution?...

Do it anyway.

Do exactly what anyway?...
