No, I don't "feel" this. It's just basic chemistry. Reforming the natural gas emits CO2 (even if it's as CO which is later burned to CO2). There's no way you can get around that.
"So you suggest we just keep the stranded gas (that is flared gas) burning, polluting, doing absolutely nothing, totally wasted. Or as AFS suggests, to use that stranded gas to produce H2 & ZeroFuel, an inexpensive, safe transportation fuel."
No, what I'm suggesting is either to leave the gas in the ground (preferrable), or if that's not an option, to use it directly instead of passing it through several steps of chemical processing, each of which (from basic thermodynamics) wastes some of the energy that's in the original gas.

You seem like the kind of person that wants perfection, well your not going to get it with any transportation fuel.

Perfection? No. Zero net CO2 emissions, yes. Otherwise what's the point?
