2013-02-16 13:47:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: America will only achieve the ambitious climate change goals outlined by President Barack Obama last week by encouraging wide-scale fracking for natural gas over the next few years. That is the advice of one of the nation's senior scientists, Professor William Press, a member of the president's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology. Fracking known officially as hydraulic fracturing involves pumping high-pressure water through underground rocks to release natural gas trapped deep underground....

Fracking in New York? Not for another year, if ever
2013-02-14 11:28:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: The fracking debate in New York state is hitting new heights as regulators delay a final decision on the controversial natural gas production method, but it looks increasingly clear that it will be a year - if ever - before drilling begins again. Governor Andrew Cuomo missed a Wednesday deadline for completing a report on the environmental impact of hydraulic fracturing, better known as fracking, that was to form the basis for new drilling rules. As a result, a now-four year moratorium on shale...

EcoWatch: Nearly 300,000 comments have been submitted on fracking by increasingly concerned New Yorkers. In October 2011 Governor Andrew M. Cuomo frankly admitted that he had yet to earn his constituents trust on fracking. Why is there still no trust for Cuomo, sixteen months later, on the verge of his big decision whether to give fracking the go-ahead? If anything, public confidence in New Yorks fracking process has dropped since 2011. Nearly three times as many New Yorkers now say they will be...
