I agree on your models comment, but I didn't mention models at all. We are just starting to have methods to monitor actual emissions, not reported emissions. The latter being whatever a company decides they are going to say their emissions are(perhaps based on monitoring, guesstimates). What we are seeing is those reported numbers tend to be way under reality.

A new study finds that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has severely underestimated methane emissions from U.S. oil and gas development, adding to a growing body of work showing that pollution from drilling is greater than EPA figures would suggest.
