I work along the lakes and throughout the varying terrain of the southeast and inter-mountain west. The amount of methane that a few lakes produce, in spite of the agenda of the leftist schools, pales in comparison to the methane rich environments of the ebb and flow and immense swamp lands. From the ephemeral to the year round streams and wet lands there is no meaningful way to compare the output of a few lakes whose output of methane would not change at all due to the level of water in it. The methane rises anyways. Once the land is exposed it just empties itself of the said methane faster (maybe 20 times) than if the water had not receded. Even my simple mind is all over this one. Alas, look at the morons our institutions of altered learning produce.
But “wetlands” are good, and virtuous, and “perfect” environments.
And breed mosquitoes like all hell breaks loose!
