Beam me to Planet Gore !
The above link goes to the abstract from Howarth et al.
Studies Say Natural Gas Has Its Own Environmental Problems (Barf alert!)
The last link is the NY Times version of the story.
The agenda of these elites is government subsidies of every kind and, rationalizing it all, fundamentally anti-human self-loathing.
The NYS legislature has shut down fracking in NYS. Cornell gets tons of Grant money.
every equation is divided by zero.
The left ought to be concerned more with the disaster of ethanol than the gas from shale issue. Ethanol’s burn emission is far worse and its energy quotient is less. Lose lose from the left.
LOL! Maybe we should start the ad campaign....Liberals? LOSING!
Amazing. One would think that a biologist would be aware of the carbon basis of all life, and have encountered some discussion of the carbon cycle along the way.
What I would like to see are some studies determining the minimum concentration of carbon dioxide that plants can extract from the air. When carbon dioxide drops to that minimum level, the total mass of plant life will drop so that the minimum level will be maintained. When plant biomass decreases, animal biomass will necessarily decrease.
The Earth itself is sequestering carbon dioxide and has been throughout its history; do we really, out of stupid fear of "global warming", want to hasten that process?
