Natural gas extraction and use releases methane, a potent greenhouse gas.

Recorded sources
6 sources for · 0 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that natural gas extraction and use releases methane, a potent greenhouse gas?

Yes. Multiple peer-reviewed sources state that methane is the primary component of natural gas and a potent greenhouse gas, and that releases occur during gas extraction, distribution, and use. One source notes natural gas is about 95% methane, and another links methane release to climate change.
