A recent study conducted by the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), identified the world’s top 25 waste disposal facilities with the highest methane emissions using satellite monitoring technology developed by Carbon Mapper. According to the findings, the facilities emit between 3.6 and 7.5 tons of methane every hour. Researchers explained that a single landfill releasing five tons of methane per hour could generate the same level of global warming impact as one million Sports Utility Vehicles (SUVs) operating for an entire year. Scientists have long recognized methane as one of the most dangerous greenhouse gases because it traps more than 80 times as much heat as carbon dioxide over a short period. Environmental advocates say the late...
