Huge clouds of methane have been detected by satellite over Chevron's Gorgon LNG project in northern WA, prompting a warning from the United Nations.

Methane is thought to be responsible for about 25 per cent of global warming.

Not a single half intelligent Aussie is surprised.

    I've been to gorgon for work and over the years many other gas plants,

    They all disrupt the cloud patterns and watch the clouds just go around the plants.

    Obviously something goes up to push them away

    I can tell you that Curtis Island has always had that problem.

    I asked Gladdy locals about it, because yeah, you’d see a storm coming from the west and you could watch it break apart before it got to you. They all told me it’s not unusual.

    Edit: if I had to guess, that’s where the incinerators are.
