Natural Gas Is Methane
Methane (CH4) is a horrible destroyer of the Earth — with 86 times the heat-trapping power of CO2 over 20 years.
But natural gas is natural, almost not really gas, actually the green solution brought to us by Guy-Who-Was-Not-Trump Barack Obama.
So the fact that 97% of so-called natural gas is nothing other than methane is odd.

The summit’s “youth” participants appear to have met some requirement of being roughly younger than either Biden OR Trump — and there
