Various sources report 7.5 to 14 million tonnes of CO2 equivalent from the leak, which is about the same amount emitted by a coal-fired power station in a year.

Didn't know of that. Can you link me?

> biggest act of terrorism

Not to be pedantic, but that was just an attack, I wouldn't call it terrorism. Not sure anyone was scared by an explosion at the bottom of the Baltic.

It was aimed at people's energy supply during winter. that very much was meant to instill fear. Not fear for one's life, but fear for everyone's wallet and heating.

Was the attack aimed at european energy supply or was it aimed at Russia’s wallet?

The whole episode is fascinating.

That pipeline blowing up lead to a pretty insignificant methane release compared to whatever is happening yearly. As in, at most 5-10% of what the oil and gas industry releases anyway.

The Nordstream leak has as much impact on sea temperature as my fart on air temperature.

Thank you - I thought it was common knowledge that we did that.

Can totally trust the Swedes not like their formal members of an alliance of ours or anything like that - I think we can clearly chalk this up to an "act of sabotage" and let that be the end of that

I thought we, the Americans, literally did that "act of terrorism" and said it was the Ukranians.
