As someone who has no knowledge of this whatsoever, my assumption is that burning natural gas still emits greenhouse gases, but doesn't emit cancer-causing particles that coal does. And that maybe it's better than coal for climate. So my layman feelings are that it's better but still bad. A quick google suggests that both these assumptions are correct, so it still seems like a big improvement per KwH versus coal.
