Natural Gas (Methane) likely make Climate much worse
The evidence is overwhelming that natural gas has no net climate benefit on timescales that matters to humans.
A new study found that just the methane emissions leaking from New Mexico’s gas and oil industry are equivalent to the climate impact of approximately 12 coal-fired power plants. https://thinkprogress.org/natural-gas-no-climate-benefit-b9118a087875
