Add on carbon used to make and bury them too permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] fubbernuckin@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago That would be very dumb because methane leaves the atmosphere on its own much more quickly than CO2. Roughly 12 years compared to carbon dioxide being closer to 500 years. Of course it's kind of a half life so putting a single number on it isn't perfect but that's the difference in scale at least. permalink fedilink source parent
