Carl Meyer delves into Canada's quest to gather data supporting liquid natural gas (LNG )potential in reducing worldwide carbon pollution for The Narwhal. In short:The Canadian government has sought assistance from the oil and gas industry in an effort to gain public support for LNG Canada. The global push by fossil fuel giants to position LNG as a "not-as-bad-as-coal" alternative is alive and well in Canada. The LNG industry's claim of substantive environmental benefits is not supported by climate science. Why this matters:Canada's effort to align its LNG industry with global climate goals is a seemingly intractable problem that is playing out globally as energy behemoths show no sign of cooperating on an energy transition not of their choosing.
