PA Public Health Assessment Finds Fracking Makes People Sick
2013-08-27 21:03:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
EcoWatch: Early results from an on-the-ground, public health assessment in Washington County, PA, indicate that environmental contamination is occurring near natural gas drilling sites and is the likely cause of associated illnesses. We are alarmed by these preliminary findings. They show that--after only six years of drilling--human exposure is occurring and people are getting sick. The presence of any sick people gives lie to industry claims that high volume hydraulic fracturing--fracking--is safe. Focusing...

SkyTruth Tracks Fracking From the Edge of Space
2013-08-27 18:51:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
EcoWatch: For the past year, our satellite monitoring of infrared data from around the world has detected immense amounts of light and heat coming from natural gas flares in North Dakota`s Bakken Shale. A recent study concluded that 30 percent of the natural gas produced in North Dakota is being wasted by a process called flaring, and the carbon dioxide emissions alone are equivalent to the annual emissions of 1 million automobiles. This does not even touch the unknown air quality impacts from burning fracked...

Hold the water: Some firms fracking without it
2013-08-27 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Houston Chronicle: The use of one precious fluid - water - to recover another - oil - chafes in dry country. Rivers and groundwater are receding in Texas for lack of rain and over-pumping just when the demand for water in new oil and gas fields is growing. Now one exploration and production company in San Antonio is fracturing its wells mostly without water, using gas liquids instead, in a practice that`s beginning to spread. Fracturing, or fracking, refers to using fluid under pressure to create fissures held...

Anti Fracking Special Report: UK
2013-08-27 12:04:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Ecologist: Post-Balcombe what will the fracking landscape look like? Now that the stage has been set with community resistance and national support will the fracking prospectors be running scared or is the prize too great? Investors think it is; their opponents disagree and there is no meeting of minds which is why communities may hold the key in this protracted battle for our energy future. It won't be a case of what David Cameron says but instead what the people say when the drill arrives. Cuadrilla has...
