Sticking with coal and oil-fired power and heat would give the world a better chance of hitting climate change mitigation targets than switching to natural gas, thanks to the devastating greenhouse gas effect of methane leakage.

That is the headline finding of a hard-hitting report published by the Berlin-based Energy Watch Group thinktank published this week, which has taken a swipe at the International Energy Agency (IEA) for perpetrating the idea natural gas is a more climate friendly option than its rival fossil fuels.

The Natural gas makes no contribution to climate protection study published on Monday claims switching coal power and oil-fired heating to natural gas raises the greenhouse effect of the power and heating supply chain 40% because of methane emissions during natural gas production.

2. Don't you think we should move to solar and wind power?

I think the solar should be on every house/building. And wind power on mountains and beach areas. I read about a European country that has wind also at individual houses/buildings. Also one thing we have got to do is allow women to have abortions and use birth control instead of this stupid attitude that women should give birth to their rapists babies etc. We should lower the world population and could do it honorably if only we would allow people to make these decisions.
