Natural gas is a dirty fucking lie. Leaked methane from natural gas extraction and transportation is orders of magnitude worse for the environment than carbon dioxide in the short term (20-year to 100-year horizon).
It's technically better past that, but by that point we'll all be dead or underwater anyway.
It also breaks down to CO2 after, right? A small amount but still.
