Replacing coal, oil with natural gas will not help fight global warming, expert argues http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/sciencedaily/top_news/top_environment/~3/GZ2N4AmUP9A/140721123920.htm?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email

Posted: 21 Jul 2014 09:39 AM PDT Both shale gas and conventional natural gas have a larger greenhouse gas footprint than do coal or oil, especially for the primary uses of residential and commercial heating. "While emissions of carbon dioxide are less from natural gas than from coal and oil, methane emissions are far greater. Methane is such a potent greenhouse gas that these emissions make natural gas a dangerous fuel from the standpoint of global warming over the next several decades," said the author of a new article. http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/sciencedaily/top_news/top_environment?a=GZ2N4AmUP9A:i1adRheGT2o:Gqkty0xVXF4
