Fracking 'linked to biggest Oklahoma earthquake'
2013-03-27 12:45:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
BBC: Scientists say wastewater injection from hydraulic fracturing was linked to a magnitude-5.7 earthquake that struck the US state of Oklahoma in 2011. Fracking, as it is known, injects water and chemicals into petroleum wells in a bid to extract trapped natural gas. Opponents of the practice say that it risks causing seismic events and contaminating groundwater. The study in Geology shows that "induced seismicity" can occur years after wastewater injection begins. Most seismic events linked...

EPA announces expert panel to review fracking study
2013-03-26 00:13:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: The U.S. environmental regulator has selected experts in fields ranging from well-drilling to toxicology to review a highly anticipated report on the natural gas and oil extraction method commonly known as fracking. The Environmental Protection Agency's science advisory board on Monday named 31 experts from universities, scientific labs and companies to review the agency's landmark hydraulic fracturing study that is expected to be delivered in 2014. The study, first requested by Congress in...

Three Bills Seek to Halt California Fracking
2013-03-25 16:06:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
EcoWatch: Three California assembly members have introduced bills to halt hydraulic fracturing in the state and mandate review of the threats the practice poses to the environment and public health. Fracking uses huge volumes of water mixed with sand and dangerous chemicals to blast open rock formations and extract oil and gas. The controversial technique--currently unregulated and unmonitored by state officials--has been used in hundreds and perhaps thousands of California oil and gas wells. Reflecting...
