Fracking films reflect twists in drilling debate
2013-07-21 21:47:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Associated Press: The boom in natural gas drilling has cast two opposing documentary filmmakers in unlikely roles. Josh Fox, a liberal environmental activist, finds himself at odds with President Barack Obama. Phelim McAleer, a free-market conservative, is echoing the Democratic president's support for natural gas. The two don't see eye-to-eye on much of anything, especially each other. "He's a very skillful filmmaker," McAleer said of Fox. "He's one of the most trusted scientists in America at the moment,...

Crains: Energy companies, businesses and environmental groups are readying for a couple of years of public policy wrangling at the federal and state levels over tougher air quality regulations to be implemented by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

"But it's going to be fun, and it will be good to start talking about it again." To which Chairwoman Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) asked, "Is this the second act?" There's been little change in the script...

Morality is missing from the debate about sustainable behaviour

Leaving aside the small matter of the rest of the world, the UK has committed to reducing its own carbon emissions by 80% in just over 35 years. This will require an unprecedented reversal of a universal trend among industrialised nations: that as economies grow, so do carbon emissions. Although reversing this trend will involve many different transformations, underpinning it all is human culture...
