Green Alliance estimates proposed coking coal mine in Cumbria could emit as much methane each year as 120,000 cows. However, the UK, along with scores of countries around the world, is committed to collectively reducing emissions of the greenhouse gas by 30 per cent between 2020 and 2030 as part of the Global Methane Pledge.

Often valid concepts in and of themselves, the problem lies in how they are touted as enviro-friendly actions while companies fail to cut their contribution to global heating. With the term climate neutrality comes a contentious new way of calculating the emissions of methane, called the “global warming potential star”, or GWP*.
