We are wasting our time

[Nanu]

Some of you should look into how much emission we have exported to thrid world countries but that ultimately are still caused by our consumption

Agree in parts, we also export our hypocrisy.

For instance our importation of LPG from the USA. This gas is from fracking, which is then liquefied, further polluting the atmosphere, shipped 3000 miles across the pond, turned back into natural gas, all of which causes even more pollution.

Much cleaner and more environmentally friendly if we frack our own gas, but eco zealots won't allow it.

From what I have seen, don't think it's as simple as that. Geological differences and fears in us being on a small island and, say, the US being on a much bigger one from what I've read.

depends what you read I suppose. I ask why not open one well, frack with both government and some agency such as friends of the earth, having access to all the data and let’s see. If the anti fracking fraternity are so sure that their dire predictions of doom are right, then a test we’ll will prove them right and kill the debate once and for all.

They won’t go for the of course as even the supposed earthquakes caused by the site near Blackpool only created a reading on the Richter scale, less than those being created by tunnelling on HS2 and Crossrail.

Very fewNIMBY’s around Blackpool who supported the sites already in place due to the jobs it would bring to the area
