The California Air Resources Board approved a new regulation aimed at methane leaks from oil and gas operations. Methane, one of the powerful greenhouse gases called short-lived climate pollutants (SLCPs) and the main component of natural gas, has 72 times the impact on global warming as carbon dioxide.
