We really should just call "natural gas" by its actual name: methane.

It's a fossil fuel, and burning it adds carbon to the atmosphere. The word "natural" is really unhelpful here, and it needs to go.

The fossil fuel industry wants to keep fracking which contaminates water supplies & the chemicals used cause cancer.

So they're re-branding LNG as "pollution-lite" and "natural" instead of "planet-frying."
