Yes and those people are wrong. As with any religion, environmentalism has many zealots who do not care about reality or the truth and will muddy the waters to advance their beliefs.

The methane leakage problem is often wildly overstated (in no way does it make nat gas worse than coal), and it's trivially solved by stricter standards that can be achieved at 1/1000th the cost of re-wiring our entire energy system around renewables.

And if you say "but we can't trust poor countries to achieve Norway's ultra-low methane performance"...then we're back to the original problem with the net-zero fantasy in the rich world altogether. If poor countries can't be relied upon to properly seal a pipe fitting, then we've demolished the fantasy they'll voluntarily do something far more unproven, expensive and technically challenging like industrializing 3B+ people using windmills.
