I don't understand articles like this. Do they really think it helps their case to say fracking is bad because of climate change? The fact that the technique is effective shouldn't be a reason to ban it! If you want to regulate carbon emmisions, then do so, but I really feel that trying to attack it from different angles just weakens the argument. It also means that the article spends virtually zero time talking about things that may actually be risks of the practice, or potential solutions. We aren't getting rid of natural gas powerplants any time soon. We could do a better job of monitoring and cleaning up leaks of fracking chemicals and wastewater injection though, if we focused on that.
