"Democrats, including those running for president, are increasingly embracing more aggressive and progressive policies on climate change while rejecting
natural gas, along with oil and coal. But this hasn’t always been the case."

"the Trudeau government’s antipathy to fossil fuels also extends to
natural gas production, distribution and trade."

"In their petition, the attorneys general argued that allowing more
natural gas to flow from Canada to the U.S.
would harm the states’ efforts to combat climate change as the region shifts to renewable energy sources...
Natural gas, primarily made of the greenhouse gas methane,
is a main contributor to global warming."

gas use in new buildings."

"The Sierra Club is committed to eliminating the use of fossil fuels, including coal,
natural gas and oil, as soon as possible. We must replace all fossil fuels with clean renewable energy, efficiency and conservation. Fracking poses unacceptable risks to our communities, our environment and our climate"

The Green movement is not a science based movement. It's a religion. They want you to live in smaller homes, travel less, and eat bugs instead of meat.
In fact, Oxford England is going to start imposing financial penalties on residents who travel too much:
"the plan involves prohibiting where residents of Oxford can drive (unless they have the proper paperwork) by breaking the city into six zones. Predictably, the concept has proven to be wildly unpopular with some of the locals....According to the Oxfordshire County Council’s own website, “traffic filtering” involves stopping vehicles from moving through selected checkpoints by leveraging a network of preexisting automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) cameras. While locals will be eligible to purchase permits that will allow them to drive between the zones “up to 100 days per year,” exceeding this limit will result in fines."
