It was a matter of time before this happened.  The EU is taking its emissions reductions targets seriously, and people in the U.S. should be aware of them.

 

U.S. exporters can scoff and argue that methane emissions will not be tracked, so why worry?  The technology, with satellites, has been developed to monitor methane emissions, and it will be in the interest of domestic European manufacturers and mining companies to enforce the regulations against U.S. companies.  See, for example,

My peer reviewed paper "Radiated Energy and the Second Law of Thermodynamics" and my paper "Planetary Core and Surface Temperatures" prove wrong the concept that radiation from greenhouse gases that are colder than the surface below cause the surface temperature to rise. Nobody can prove my papers wrong and nobody did even when I offered US $50,000 for the first to do so.  Climatology "physics" is false and not supported by experiments. The Stefan-Boltzmann Law cannot be used to quantify surface temperatures by the addition of radiative flux from the atmosphere to the solar flux. But what that law does tell us is that the mean solar flux reaching the surface (about 170w/m^2) could not make the mean surface temperature greater than -40°C.  See http://climate-change-theory.com
