Just read another article about this today on yahoo.
They still have no idea what the source is.
Still just blaming it on oil/gas extraction and coal mining that does not exist.
NASA has air craft that can sample and analyze atmospheric trace gases in real time. They could use that to narrow the methane emission down to at least a zip code then contract natural gas auditors to the offending area with hand held methane sniffers. (your local gas company hires gas auditors, people who do this for a living to come in to an area and find all the tiny to moderate leaks in gas lines and ID leaky meters every year or 2)
So this problem could easily be solved with existing programs and equipment.
But for some reason doing nothing seems to be the better option.
Must be more politically fulfilling to blame oil/gas extraction than risk finding out its natural.
