      I’d (genuinly) like to ask why natural gas isn’t considered green? Also, not one prediction says that humans are going to/might extinct and that is just a fact.

        Because it’s not a renewable and it’s got polluting outputs from its use?

        And it’s called hyperbole mate, don’t take everything so literally.

        It’s not green because methane itself is a stronger greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide, and we don’t know how to build a distribution network that doesn’t leak like a sieve.

        I’m sad about this because I prefer gas to other cooking heat (yes, I’ve tried induction), but ignoring reality because it doesn’t match my preferences is unwise.

        Massive amount of methane released during transport due to seepage. Doesn’t matter if it burns clean if you can’t fully contain it until you get it to it’s destination. Methane is a more potent greenhouse gas then co2, so the damage from leaks builds up quick.

        Also, burning it in the home is toxic and gives kids asthma.
