Gulf oil & gas disaster, lobbyists, Obama & huge threat of natural gas (methane) to Humanity & Biosphere

Methane is 72 times worse than CO2 as a GHG on a 20 year time scale but 25 times worse on a 100 year scale. The World has only the next decade or so to act to prevent massive damage from man-made climate change and hence the 20 year time scale is the appropriate time frame for the GHG calculations.
