Natural gas may be worse for the world than coal, but it’s got two important things on its side: the word natural & the seemingly unconditional support of the United States government. Preliminary research by Cornell University’s Robert Howarth, finds that “natural” (methane) gas may be 24% worse for the climate than coal in the best-case scenario. That’s thanks to extensive methane leaks at just about every stage of its production, from drilling to transportation.
