Flying 10,000 feet above the Gulf of Mexico, in a plane outfitted with infrared imaging equipment, researchers could see methane gas bubbling under water, likely from an undetected pipeline leak. Still, researchers emphasize that the high rate of methane leakage underscores the major climate impact that reducing those leaks could have.
