This article from Haaretz about the apparent sabotage of the Nord 1 and 2 gas lines from Russia to Europe is a missing piece from the American MSM. Instead of weighing in on whodunnit it talks of the economic damage at a time when Climate Change issues should be front and center. Here, the focus is the leak of methane into the environment. From Haaretz:

The Nord Stream pipeline leaks pumping huge volumes of natural gas into the Baltic Sea could discharge the equivalent of one third of Denmark’s total annual greenhouse gas emissions, a Danish official warned Wednesday...Danish emissions in 2020 were approximately 45 million tonnes of CO2.

That's 15 million tonnes. It recalls the Brown University study on the Cost of War that estimate that 1.2 billion metric tons of greenhouse gases were created by the post-9/11 wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
