That is the point of the article. Some people got worried, but anyone familiar with the scope of the climate situation knew that that gas leak was a drop in the bucket.

I am actually shocked that this single event causes such a high impact on a global scale. Considering it is a single event, it's quite concerning; think about the potential of the industry.

That’s the point. I doubt it did. This is likely someone’s heavily biased assumption / estimation that they typed up specifically to post online so they can “prove” it was an eco-disaster. I call nonsense.

even if, the order of magnitude should be more or less correct, even if inflated by a potency of 10, it is still relevant. in general human impact is that big. i've worked in the oil industry, mainly russian and east europe stuff. there is other stuff that's fucked up on a big scale, toxic stuff you don't even imagine exsists.
