Using research from the Climate action tracker and quotes from Bill Hare, this article calls attention to the increase in new Liquid Natural Gas projects being built in response to the energy crisis.

A study from Climate Action Tracker shows that planned LNG projects would more than double the world’s current liquefied natural gas capacity, generating roughly 47 billion tons of carbon dioxide equivalent between now and 2050.
