The amount of energy required to liquefy and ship natural gas across the ocean is horrendous, it’s almost certainly more emissions than locally mined coal in England or whatever.
This carbon stuff is always funny math though, like on a straight btu basis gas is much cleaner but probably not when you include transportation. In fact the retirement of coal plants in favor of combined cycle gas has been a huge driver of CO2 emissions reduction in the power sector.
