The
idea is that by reducing soot and methane emissions we would be
helping the earth out. Two studies came out saying that because of
soot and methane emissions we would save a whole degree Celsius by
2050. However, two climate analysts would argue that those reports
are overly optimistic. These two gents say that a more realistic
number is much lower; that getting rid of methane and soot by a
certain time would only save us about 0.16 of a degree. They also
argue that there is no way every single person would switch there
appliances to burn cleaner and that leaky pipelines and landfills
would never be able to catch all of the escaping methane. A possible
solution to reducing your soot and methane output is to burn less and
if you do burn using a cleaner machine. Also it could help if land
fills started trying to catch some of that methane coming off of all
of that trash, but that ones a little harder. It will be incredibly
hard to stop all of the methane/ soot emissions so thankfully it is
not as serious of an emission as some other things that have horrible
emissions. My personal opinion is
that everyone can help. Stop having so many fires and buy a cleaner
natural gas or electric burner. Every little bit helps and is needed
to turn this planet back into what it was.
