Fossil methane (lemmy.world)

Yes, I know it's not technically just methane, but methane is its primary constituent.

"Fossil gas" is also probably a suitable term, but I like "fossil methane" because it gets that spooky chemical name benefit.

Production and transport of fossil gas actually often does exactly that and there are/were satellites tasked with tracking methane emissions (there are also loads of natural fossil sources, sometimes their leaking is anthropogenic).
