What emissions are there from drilling natural gas, aside from aquifer and river pollution?

The main concern with natural gas are that the leaks cause 81x the greenhouse effect than if the gas was just burned. And liquifying methane and tanking it onto ships causes a lot of leaks, more than the leaks caused normally by pipelines. Natural gas is just as bad as coal if not worse.

Coal mining releases a great deal of methane and other green-house gasses. It's not clear whether it's more or less than the LPG entire chain.

A serious paper would compare the entire picture of both. Or at least look at one and refrain from opining about the other.

Natural gas is absolutely not as bad or worse than coal, if you look at the whole picture. The big problem with coal wasn't the greenhouse emissions, it was all the other emissions. Radioactive particulates anyone?
