Wrong! Methane (the primary component of natural gas) has a global warming potential 21 times higher than carbon dioxide over a 100-year period, though methane persists in the atmosphere for much less time (around a dozen years) than carbon dioxide (many decades).

  Unfortunately we lose quite a bit of methane between the extraction site and the turbine.
