@chebra I agree that it raises flags. I was responding to the question in the immediate comment I was responding to, as I looked into the very same thing the other day and came to a different conclusion than they.
If the maps are different from upstream, it becomes more than a moral problem, it becomes a concrete influence operation.

in reply to Zack Labe • • •Thank you!
From the Yale piece, looks like "the cause of the decade-long hiatus in rising methane emissions was the fallout from the breakup of the Soviet Union in 1991."
