| Comment | A joint UN-industry effort to look at methane says methane is 86 times more powerful than CO2 as a greenhouse gas, which means he/they are relying on the 20-year GWP form the IPCC 2013 report. There is also an effort to get the International Standards Organization (ISO) to set a standard for methane in lifecycle assessments that would reflect actual endpoints, such as a global warming of 1.5 or 2 deg C. That essentially would call for the 20-year GWP as well. The US component to the ISO has recommended adoption of such a new standard, which would replace the decades old 21 value. http://www.un.org/climatechange/summit/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2014/07/INDUSTRY-Oil-and-Gas-Methane-Partnership-Action-Statement-and-Plan.pdf The California Air Resources Board must seriously consider these global studies and research.
