Sorry, I have another question to put to Professor McMullin and Professor Howarth on this topic. Will they describe the climate mitigation impact of reducing methane emissions? They have increased, but what would be the effect of bringing them right back down? If all countries were to refuse to take fracked gas from the US, how much good would it do in terms of climate mitigation? How quickly could this be done?
