 Maybe.  The problem is that LNG if it escapes into the environment is a
worse greenhouse gas than CO2, although not as stable.  So if you take
into account the large amounts of gas lost to the atmosphere with fracking,
I could see it looking pretty bad.
 Of course, the solution for this isn't to abandon natural gas but to
seal systems better and reduce waste.

     There are lots of Methane leaks from fields in Southern
California and all over the world wherever oil was sought as well
there are leaks from garbage dumps where decomposition is taking
place. The evidence is riff that the clathrates undersea are
melting and releasing methane while the Permafrost is collaping
into large pits releasing more methane. Satellites are detecting
plumes of this gas in the atmosphere.
      All fossil fuels will be abandoned becuse the Climate Warming will make it impossible to handle. Think about the temperatures that
gasoline ignites at and which promotes its vaporizastion.
     When the Ports are flooded how will tankers get close enough
to transfer petroleum?  And the last fossil fuels will be used
to power miliary equipment.
     If you want read about how we would cope with that read
the Emberverse series by S. M. Stirling. It starts with the destruction
of the usefulness of technology as presently deployed.  That would
kill me but aside from that off-putting realization it is very powerful
series. But his inventiveness seemed to have flagged at the 3rd
generation post-Change..

 There are probably more methane leaks from natural seeps in the seabed of the Gulf of Mexico than anywhere else in the planet.  At 2,000 feet below the surface to 10,000 feet below the surface, there is six feet of frozen methane covering the entire Gulf of Mexico seabed.  The frozen methane is constantly sublimating and rising to bubble up into the atmosphere.
 We humans did not cause this, it is nature.  And this phenomena happens all over the planet.  I think that Gulf of Mexico is the worst since the several reservoir pressures peak at 35,000 psia.

 Something has to be done! Why doesn't the US enlist the Navy submarines to drive around and plug the holes? ;)

Because you are dealing with moving tectonic plates causing huge disturbances in the Earth's crust.  Good luck with that.

Increase the size of the plugs! And if the plates move, just glue them together.
