"Gas companies say their clean energy claims are backed by science. They fail to mention the science is fossil fuel funded."

"If you’ve read Politico, Axios, or E&E News lately, you may have come across ads claiming that natural gas is an effective solution to the climate crisis.

One ad, which appeared last week in an E&E article about a gas industry misinformation campaign, says that “Natural gas is the best way to reach climate goals faster and power our future cleanly, reliably, and affordably.”

Another piece of sponsored content published in Politico cites multiple studies to claim natural gas will help America “reach climate goals faster.” It adds: “This is not political conjecture or industry rhetoric.”"
