ABC snip:

The peer-reviewed study by Robert Howarth, a professor at Cornell University, found American LNG, at least, was worse than coal when it came to emissions.

Specifically, the report found greenhouse gas emissions from LNG were 33 per cent greater than those related to coal when measured over a 20-year timeline.

And at the heart of Professor Howarth’s finding was not carbon dioxide but, rather, methane, a far more potent greenhouse gas.
