Whatever this agency is that produced the report is, they are full of BS with respect to the driver for flaring being global warming related. The driver for flaring vs. discharge to atmosphere is safety. Can these idiots spell vapor cloud explosion?

Sorry, my mistake. I see they did.
Natural gas is flared, or burned directly to the atmosphere, rather than being vented without combustion because methane, the primary constituent of natural gas, has much higher global warming potential than carbon dioxide, the main component of combusted gas.
These folks are better when they just stick to numbers of collected data.
