Methane is the single most harmful form of carbon emissions damaging our ozone today. A methane leak in Los angeles has contributed to this problem greatly. "For more than two months now, a ruptured storage well has poured thousands of tons of methane..." Sadly, this is not the biggest emission to date. All over world, people contribute to this problem everyday. Luckily new technologies can now track this invisible, odorless gas more effectively. "Now, high-tech cameras and satellites are capturing those releases better than ever, putting pressure on companies and officials to take action."
I believe this is important because having the ability to track a gas that is 84X more potent that CO2 can help restore the ozone layer. Being able to see exactly how much and where the methane is coming from can help reduce the emissions.
