More and more gigantic tankers carrying LNG, liquefied natural gas, are crisscrossing the oceans – and we're building infrastructure to trade ever larger amounts. But shouldn't we be moving AWAY from fossil fuels?

#PlanetA #LNG #naturalgas

We're destroying our environment at an alarming rate. But it doesn't need to be this way. Our new channel Planet A explores the shift towards an eco-friendly world — and challenges our ideas about what dealing with climate change means. We look at the big and the small: What we can do and how the system needs to change. Every Friday we'll take a truly global look at how to get us out of this mess.
