NEW: Big Oil and Gas created the myth that natural gas is "clean" — despite knowing the health and climate harms of methane decades earlier than previously reported. A major CCI investigation exposes how the gas industry deceived the public and policymakers into believing gas is a climate solution.

"The Fraud of 'Clean' Natural Gas" is the first investigation to trace how the gas industry responded to its methane pollution problem with decades of deception. Read the findings from @rebeccajohn.bsky.social @rebleber.bsky.social @davisallen.bsky.social 👇 climateintegrity.org
CCI's Richard Wiles: Officials who justify natural gas expansion "by still claiming it’s clean or safe for the climate are using the same script & manipulated science that gas executives & their PR teams concocted decades ago. It’s time that these profoundly dangerous lies are finally put to rest."
