Google is making a map of methane leaks for the whole world to see

This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
I interpret that to mean that Google is getting paid for this work. They're not doing it out of kindness.
ETA: So, yes, PR BS.
It seems like media spin more than PR BS. The EDF should be the company being recognised as they appear to be accountable for the program and the article quotes the EDF directly.
I expect google probably is better click bait.
Isn’t media spin PR BS?
Not as bullshit as you give it credit for. This is tech Google already needs to deploy for its generic roll in data collection / land surveying. Now they get to show off a degree of granularity, flex for the public so they can improve their image, AND provide a lucrative service to the cash-rich O&G industry looking for a cheap way to rack in tax credits.
It is more just convenient.
