An unfortunate title (does nature do click bait now?). Why use the term dwarf instead of quoting the numeric value (or say "more than double")?



Shouldn't the correct title be "New methane leak estimate dwarfs government estimates"

From the article...

"They then extrapolated the figures to estimate methane leaks at the national level."


8 million -> 13 million metric tons (+60% increase) of Methane seems like a big jump.
