Telegraph: The former chief executive of BP told The Sunday Telegraph that as long as it could be done safely, the method of hydraulic fracturing for shale oil and gas should be pursued. His comments came as Cuadrilla's potential shale oil site outside the village of Balcombe in West Sussex attracted hundreds of protesters this weekend, angry at the potential environmental fallout from the method. Fracking involves pumping water, gas and chemicals into the ground at high pressure to fracture the rocks and...

Fracking for oil is environmentally risky
2013-08-17 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Marin Voice: THE STATE Legislature is considering how to deal with the effects of hydraulic fracturing, or "fracking." Fracking is an oil and gas extraction process that, with technological advances in recent years, is creating a California oil rush -- a rush which threatens our environment, public health and safety, water supply and coastal waters. More importantly, it threatens to undermine the strides made to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions in the face of significant, perhaps catastrophic, climate...

Officers from Sussex Police, Thames Valley Police and other forces kept watch from outside the gate of the land which is being used without the owner's permission. A 23-year-old man was arrested in connection with threats...

United Kingdom: Fracking: RSPB objects to Cuadrilla plans for two sites
2013-08-17 03:40:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
BBC: The RSPB has lodged objections to proposals to drill for shale gas at sites in Lancashire and West Sussex. It says regulations are inadequate to ensure water, landscapes and wildlife are protected. Prime Minister David Cameron has urged the UK to back fracking, which involves shattering shales to release trapped gas. Cuadrilla, which is exploring the sites, says its activities will not harm birds or other wildlife. These are the first formal objections to fracking from the RSPB, and they...
