Here’s why the claims are wrong: UCS has pointed out that while gas burns cleaner than coal at a power plant, it is far from a “clean” fuel because it still results in significant toxic air pollution. Methane is more than 80 times as powerful at warming the planet over a 20-year time frame than carbon dioxide. .

The greenhouse effect is a popular name for the earth’s warming effect which occurs naturally when gasses in the atmosphere trap heat from the sun and prevent it from escaping back into space. As the graph shows, policies on land-use, agriculture, and renewable energy hold a lot of potential for net GHG emissions reduction.
