 The blowout lit a fire, and the fire burned continuously until Christmas. Six months and two weeks of a continuous fire and methane plume at this drilling site. Methane in the atmosphere is many times more potent than carbon, and this disaster from Burzaki Neft Company emitted 127,000 tons of methane. This alone will do more damage to the planet and to human beings and to the animals we share the Earth with than all of the other things I mentioned today.
