“Global Warming’s Terrifying New Chemistry,” Bill McKibben, a “climate activist,” accuses the EPA of failing to block hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, a natural gas drilling technique in which methane sometimes escapes into the air.
I wonder if this idiot realizes “fracking” has been going on since 1947??????
Or if he realizes methane has been entering the atmosphere since the begining of time.
The only thing “new” about “fracking” is the word “fracking”...The technology has been in use for almost 70 years....
Eco freaks who knew nothing about the technique took the word and panicked...as they usually do....
“by far” the hottest year ever...
First Ever is a long time, and it has been “hotter” many many times including way way hotter
Secondly, even if you believe all of the fake adjustments that year after year seem to make post 70’s temperature a little warmer, and pre 70’s temperature a little colder, even with all that adjustment the “by far” hottest temperature is a few hundredths of a degree like (0.01 or 0.02) degrees which we can barely measure accurately in lab conditions much less planet wide with crude instruments irregularly spaced across mountains and deserts and oceans. They are violating high school physics significant figures just by publishing these numbers to 2 significant figures when they are probably not even accurate to even 1 or even 5 degrees.
