However, in brief, yes it's about releases of methane during production, transportation, storage and use. Well I already said that in the first post. This has always been an issue and the scientists in the video have attempted to quantify it. Their results may be questionable, and indeed some of the most interesting discussion (IIRC) came during the question time at the end.
You will notice that the title of my post had a question mark at the end. I am not convinced they are right but I thought it might be an interesting topic to discuss.
By the way, the topic is methane, but there is also a lot of CO2 directly released during natural gas production from formations in which the gas is sour.
