President Obama, Fracking is Part of the Climate Change Problem, Not Solution
2013-06-25 21:12:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Earthworks: President Obama should know this. His own agencies are effectively telling him so. NOAA studies based on actual measurements of methane emissions from natural gas development, transport and consumption, report that the methane leakage rate is much higher than commonly assumed. Its so high, in fact, that natural gas--from gas well to consumption--is more harmful to climate than coal because methane is a much more powerful greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide. And the Presidents Climate Action...

Duke Study Finds Higher Gas Levels in Drinking Water Wells Near Marcellus Fracking Sites
2013-06-24 22:58:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
EcoWatch: Some homeowners living near shale gas wells appear to be at higher risk of drinking water contamination from stray gases, according to a new Duke University-led study, Increased Stray Gas Abundance in a Subset of Drinking Water Wells Near Marcellus Shale Gas Extraction. A Dimock, Pa., resident who did not want to be identified pours a glass of water taken from his well after the start of natural gas drilling in 2009. Photo credit: Reuters. The scientists analyzed 141 drinking water samples...

EPA delays fracking safety study until 2016
2013-06-24 22:11:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Grist: We told you last week that the EPA is abandoning an investigation that linked fracking chemicals with groundwater contamination in Wyoming. Amid controversy over that move, news about EPA delaying another fracking study got overlooked by most media. In 2010, Congress ordered the EPA to look into the dangers posed to drinking water sources by hydraulic fracturing. That research was expected to be completed in 2014. But last Tuesday, an EPA official told attendees of a shale-gas conference in Cleveland,...
Fracking, Fracking and More Fracking
2013-06-24 21:45:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
EcoWatch: It`s virtually impossible these days to read, listen to or watch a news program that doesn`t mention hydraulic fracturing, or fracking. Nearly every day, EcoWatch posts at least one article on fracking and last week was no different. Big news last week was the announcement by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that it`s delaying from 2014 to 2016 the release of its study on the impact of fracking. In 2010, at the request of Congress, the U.S. EPA was mandated to conduct a study to...
