Los Angeles City Council Blames Fracking for Earthquake

National Review ^ | 03/20/2014 | Alec Torres

Like Santa Monica has never felt an earthquake before fracking?

[scooby321]

Must have neen the first earthquake in California

[spudville]

This seems well thought out and deeply considered. Since California has never had an earthquake before fracking it seems to be the best conclusion. (sarc)

[FlingWingFlyer]

LOL! Buffoons spewing their junk science.

[dfwgator]

Idiocracy is here.

What a stupid country we’ve become.

[Zathras]

So a little 8” hole in the ground created the San Andres Fault?
Land of Fruits and Nuts for sure.

[BunnySlippers]

The LA City Council consists of people that are really wack! It would be hard to assemble of bunch of lunatics like them outside LA.

[Malone LaVeigh]

Is there any fracking even going on in CA?

Maybe I should have worded that differently.

[mulligan]

Fools in charge.

[Texas Eagle]

Induced earthquakes are almost always shallower than this.”

Induced earthquakes? Anthroprogenic temblors?

[dfwgator]

The LA City Council...

Their concern is warranted. The San Francisco eathquake of 1906 was related to fracking as was the New Madrid earthquake in the 19th century. As well there is some strong evidence that the decline of the Babylonian empire was caused by repeated earthquakes due to fracking. Finally, one of the great extinctions (the large dinosaurs) was almost certainly caused by fracking.

Their concern is without foundation.

[Texas Eagle]

Yeah, but what explains the Los Angeles City Council?

[rjsimmon]

In February, the city council moved to ban fracking,

Then they should not be allowed to use natural gas. Cause=effect.

[17th Miss Regt]

Correction:

Their concern is not without foundation.

[drypowder]

Fracking, global warming, Christianity, OH MY!!
