Why can unburned methane leaks reduce the climate advantage expected from switching from coal to methane combustion?
A
Methane leaks remove all carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
B
Methane itself absorbs infrared radiation, so leaked fuel can add climate impact before it is oxidized.
C
Unburned methane has no chemical bonds and no interaction with radiation.
D
Leaked methane immediately becomes solid carbon with no energy effect.
