Considering that merely existing creates carbon, the choice of "offenders" is concerning. Creating or "emitting" carbon and methane aren't crimes and attempts to "hold offenders accountable" makes advocates of this position sound authoritarian. You can't outlaw living and force people to buy climate approved products. The narrative and wording surrounding the climate movement get worse every year.

By "offenders" I clearly mean parties exceeding a legal limit (or any treaty-negotiated limits). It's a way to enforce laws and agreements. Of course I'm not implying that creating or releasing any amount of methane inherently a crime. We're talking about leaking pipelines (either by accident or negligence), biomass landfills that might be required to reclaim or capture methane (but aren't), things like that. Or even just identifying human-driven sources we didn't realize existed.

The methane emitters in the satellite image are doing far, far more than merely existing.

That's true of every online marketplace unless there's no 3rd party sellers.

Now gov site has a list of every website you've looked at.

I never gave a recovery phone number for any of my accounts. While they regularly ask for one to improve my security, I've never given one and they continue to accept my logins from all over the US as well as granting some apps (thunderbird) access to the account.

I do however get notifications on my phone asking if the login was me.

The likelihood of being confused by rss among mullvad customers can't be very high.

You might be surprised! The Mullvad client is super well designed and usable for newbs, and I'll bet a lot of their business is from people whose more technical friends told them it was a good idea. There's a reason that Tor warns users that posting personal information or using accounts with their regular credentials compromises anonymity.

I wish RSS had more surface area with general computer users, but I reckon even being called RSS makes it unlikely. Folks in tech often forget how intimidating opaque names can be for nontechnical users.

Not being a Mullvad user myself, I wasn't sure if people tend to use a Mullvad client or a generic VPN stack built into their OS, but the Mullvad client could simply display news like this to the former set of users leaving only the latter set to configure a separate RSS client or whatever.
