Lord Deben, who is chairman of the Committee on Climate Change, said those who condemn fracking as extremely damaging are taking a "nonsensical position" and called on environmentalists who take a more "sensible" view to disassociate themselves from these groups....

In addition to concerns about having an adequate water supply for food production, Californians are worried about Gov.
