Hi Steven,

It does appear this is an old fact sheet. The most up to date methane emission numbers can be found in this blog:

Production Notes:
Dec.24, 2015: Using Audacity I "fixed" the sound. Here are the steps: First "Noise Removal".
Apply "normalization."
"Equalization", AM Radio profile, use flatten
"Compression". Make softer louder. and Louder softer.
"Normalize again".
