Reply to comment by [deleted] in Negligible climatic impact of the recent methane leak from the Nord Stream pipelines - Methane emissions related to the recent explosions would result in an increase in the average global surface air temperature of just 0.000018 degrees Celsius over a 20-year period. by avogadros_number

I am actually shocked that this single event causes such a high impact on a global scale. Considering it is a single event, it's quite concerning; think about the potential of the industry.

That’s the point. I doubt it did. This is likely someone’s heavily biased assumption / estimation that they typed up specifically to post online so they can “prove” it was an eco-disaster. I call nonsense.

even if, the order of magnitude should be more or less correct, even if inflated by a potency of 10, it is still relevant. in general human impact is that big. i've worked in the oil industry, mainly russian and east europe stuff. there is other stuff that's fucked up on a big scale, toxic stuff you don't even imagine exsists.
