Again? We talked about this like 2 weeks ago.

The industry uses international standards for emissions measurement. The sniffing plane took 13 measurements over a year and extrapolated based on those measurements.

Measurements are likely not wrong, but emissions are variable day by day. They could've been venting gas for maintenance on a specific day that the plane flew over. This would've been averaged out from the company's daily measurements.

I would recommend that the researchers should take it up with the UN against their methodology and not single out the oilsands.
