Study: EPA vastly underestimated methane leaks
A comprehensive new study by Stanford and published in the most respected peer-reviewed journal in the world concludes that EPA estimates of methane leakage are 50% too low. Methane is the most powerful greenhouse gas. UPDATE: From Tony … [Read more...]
EPA chart: Oil & gas production and fracking number 2 GHG emitter
Petroleum and natural gas systems are worse than refineries as Green House Gas emitters and second only to power plants. Also see: It's the Methane Stupid What's Behind Surging Ozone Pollution in Texas? Study to Weigh Role of … [Read more...]
IT’S THE METHANE, STUPID!
UPDATE: The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) reports that methane (CH4) is far more potent a greenhouse gas than we had previously realized. The IPCC reports that, over a 20-year time frame, methane has a global warming potential of … [Read more...]
Breaking: Onshore toxic spill at shale oil facility!
These are photos of an onshore toxic spill into our air in the Eagle Ford Shale. These spills happen everyday, all day long! More spill information HERE. … [Read more...]
Take Action: EPA underestimating fracking’s impacts on climate change
Urge EPA: use best science when calculating methane’s impacts on global warming Methane- the main component of natural gas- is a much more potent greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide. How much more potent? That’s what the EPA is currently deciding … [Read more...]
The real story about methane and the EPA estimates
I might have mentioned the recent news that the EPA reduced their estimates of methane emissions but now I have even more and better information. This is the information that needs to be reported. First, the bottom line: Methane levels are way too … [Read more...]
AP’s Kevin Begos strikes-out again with his fracking emissions reporting
The Associated Press headline reads "EPA METHANE REPORT FURTHER DIVIDES FRACKING CAMPS." Kevin Begos (I might have mentioned him previously) leads with a false statement about environmentalists being divided by the news on emissions. Then, as he … [Read more...]
What do leeches have to do with fracking and climate change?
So I have this friend, she's the literal type, and she saw my post about the leeches and anemia made in response to the State of the Union address. She thought it was clever but admitted she was a little hazy on the connection between global warming … [Read more...]
Gas explosion injures 18 people in leak plagued Massachusetts
Using the same Picarro technology we used to detect massive methane leaks in the Barnett Shale, researchers at Boston University and Duke University found 3,356 separate natural gas leaks. Boston said riddled with natural gas leaks While our … [Read more...]
Forbes: Fracking emissions accelerate climate change and fracks future generations
Forbes: Fugitive Methane Caught in the Act of Raising GHG Fugitive losses include loss of methane from the well-head during flow-back return of the fluids, during drill-out following fracturing and during well-venting, plus losses from equipment … [Read more...]
