Getting Warmer with Kal Penn: Tackling Methane
Actor and former White House aide Kal Penn explores solutions to the climate crisis with a dose of humor and optimism.
Methane has 80 times the warming power of carbon dioxide and huge amounts of it leak into the atmosphere every day. In this episode of Getting Warmer, Kal Penn breaks down what you need to know about the gas, the surprising places it’s leaking from and why fixing methane leaks is one of the quickest and cheapest ways to slow global warming. Penn heads to West Texas to meet the founder of a fossil fuel company who realized fixing leaks was also a huge financial opportunity. Global oil and gas operations emit giant amounts of methane every day, most of it during routine flares or venting. Penn meets Ryan Keys, co-founder of Triple Crown Resources, to find out how his company says it eliminated most of its leaks and made money in the process. In a guest segment, climate storyteller Jack Harries explores solutions to farming’s methane problem. With beef production alone accounting for 40% of global methane emissions, how do we reinvent mass farming practices?
