Scientists Just Discovered a Major New Source of Carbon Emissions

Turns out, that when you flood an area to build a reservoir, all the shit that used to be there, and the soil itself, start outgassing methane…enough to contribute more than 1% of our global carbon footprint…which is a little weird, since it’s methane, not CO2…which is apparently much worse as a “greenhouse gas”. Think about that the next time you let loose an ass cloud of it.
