US landfills emit far more methane than previously known

Grist

A landfill is a place of perpetual motion, where mountains of garbage can rise in days and crews race to contain the influx of ever more trash. Amid the commotion, an invisible gas often escapes unnoticed, warming the planet and harming our health: methane. On Thursday, the climate-data sleuths at Carbon Mapper published a study in Science that shows the nation’s landfills emit that gas at levels at least 40 percent higher than previously reported to the Environmental Protection Agency.
