America's weather-data department, the National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), came to this conclusion in a new report based on American satellite data. The study was financed by the World Bank, which five years ago started a global initiative to change the long-established practice of flaring gas and to capture it for energy use instead. Well, OK, I can see the desire to put the gas to some real use ... but it's gonna go into the atmosphere anyway, once it's burned.

True, but if the oil companies don’t want that $40 billion dollars, I’d like $10 million or so for just one year.
