No shit, but if you can replace coal with gas today... Do it!
You then replace gas with renewables tomorrow.
Coal emissions are hideously bad. Anything is better.
Yep, natural gas is definitely not clean. The end of natural gas has to start with its name. The oil and gas industry didn’t invent the name. But it invented the myth of a clean fuel.
If you're using a 50 year time frame, and as much methane leaks as some research suggests, natural gas actually has a higher tons of co2 equivalent per kwh than coal does.

Yes. It all depends on how much of it leaks, and how you amortize the energy requirements for specialized containers, liquifaction, and ships.
Specifically, it is LNG that can risk out emitting coal, largely depending on how far it is shipped vs how close competing coal is.
