Just managed to get access to GHGSat's methane emissions monitoring data - enabling visualisations like this.

The high resolution observations seem to be a bit patchy in their global coverage at the moment, but I think that's because clients have to request observations of specific sites. Also incredibly slow to load data, but nevertheless interesting and useful.

In addition to the obvious emissions from the oil and mining industries, the other major source appears to be landfills and waste dumps.

This is a landfill site in Cape Town. In the coming carbon governance regime, it'll be easy to hold oil companies and mining corporations accountable for their emissions, but who is accountable for the emissions from waste? Pointing the finger at municipal waste mangement is myopic when the problem is a systemic one of overproduction and disposable culture.
