Fracking and Shale Gas Accelerating Global Warming
UPDATE Jan 2013:
Yet another study reveals fracking has a huge problem of gas leaks. Up to 9% of the gas pumped out of the ground leaks into the atmosphere according to a study by National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) published in Nature this week. Natural gas (methane) is a powerful greenhouse gas. If these leaks are widespread, fracking is worse than burning coal, accelerating global warming.
My recent articles only touch on some of the significant problems with fracking. There's more to come. (And check out trailer for the new fracking movie starring Matt Damon http://bit.ly/TC8qNB) -- Stephen
