12/6/20 – I’ve created a special channel on my Vimeo account which includes previously private videos on my research and reporting on methane, sea ice and other climate related subjects. Once a new video has been available to my SubscribeStar members for a week, the video will be made public and added to this channel. The channel is public and available for anyone to view. Please visit my new Vimeo channel – Margo – The Scientific Empath. Bookmark the page and share however you like. I’ve done this in an effort to have another location to see the videos in addition to my website. I’m also adding more older videos to the channel as I have time. Thank you for supporting and sharing my work. Here’s the direct link:  https://vimeo.com/channels/margoempath

12/15/20 – This is a repost from Feb. 2020

Methane Report for CAMS Data for Sunday, 2/23/20 & Looking at North Dakota’s High Methane Releases

Margo discusses the source of high methane releases from North Dakota, USA.

Coal Gasification: North Dakota has one of the world’s largest deposits of lignite coal –— which is transformed into synthetic natural gas — and is the nation’s only synthetic natural gas producer. According to the Dakota Gasification Company, the majority of the 153 million cubic feet of natural gas that is produced daily is piped to Iowa so it can be distributed to the eastern U.S., while it sends its supplies of carbon dioxide — measured at between 2.5 and 3 million metric tons per year — to Saskatchewan, Canada.
