Warning: Read the IPCC report section on methane if you haven't yet

I skimmed the latest IPCC report last night. The methane section is brutal. We're at 190% of pre-industrial levels now. That's way higher than I thought. Livestock and leaks from gas wells are the main sources. It traps 80 times more heat than CO2 in the short term. Has anyone seen local data on methane levels near their town? I'm trying to figure out what's realistic to push for at city council.

Man, I had a buddy who checked the methane monitor near his farm and couldn't sleep for a week. The data was way worse than any chart he'd seen online.
