What Environmentalists Like Me Got Wrong About Climate Change

Peter Lehner's OpEd highlights the importance of addressing methane emissions to effectively combat climate change. Lehner, a longtime environmental advocate, admits that many environmentalists, including himself, underestimated the impact of methane on global warming. Recent studies suggest that methane has caused up to 45% of human-driven climate change, raising concerns about the oil and gas industry's contributions.

• Methane emissions are driving an alarming increase in global temperatures.
• The environmental community may have misjudged the significance of methane in climate change.
• Greater emphasis on reducing methane emissions is crucial for mitigating climate change.

Lehner's OpEd serves as a wake-up call for both environmental advocates and the oil and gas industry to prioritize reducing methane emissions in the fight against climate change.
