Quote:The California Council on Science & Technology, in collaboration with the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, recently released its 858-page peer-reviewed independent scientific assessment produced for the California Natural Resources Agency. The study focused on “how hydraulic fracturing and acid well stimulation could affect water, atmosphere, seismic activity, wildlife and vegetation, and human health in California.” The report also sought to identify “knowledge gaps and alternative practices that could avoid or mitigate these possible impacts.”

Dr. Jens Birkholzer, the Principal Investigator of the assessment and Division Deputy of Berkeley Lab’s Earth Sciences Division stated, “A highly qualified group of scientists with many years of research experience worked intensely for over a year to collect, analyze and interpret a wide variety of available information on hydraulic fracturing and acid stimulation in the state. ”

Following Volume I released in January 2015, Volumes II and III concluded: No evidence was found that chemicals used in hydraulic fracturing have harmed the environment; No evidence was found that hydraulic fracturing in California has contaminated groundwater; Fluids injected into oil formations during hydraulic fracturing operations are not likely to cause earthquakes; Air pollution associated with hydraulic fracturing is small compared to other sources of pollution; If hydraulic fracturing expands in California it will most likely be in the existing oil fields of Kern County where the technology has been used for many decades;
The amount of water used in hydraulic fracturing operations is small compared to other human water uses; and Hydraulic fracturing has been used in a small number of cases in offshore production but is not expected to become a significant part of offshore production in the future.

But ... earthquakes ... big corporations ... fossil fuels ...

racism!!!!

Anything/anyone claiming science is settled is either fos or a bad scientist. We've already had this thread.

Pretty sure zerO himself has made claims about "the science is settled" on issues. Course, what community agitator isn't a qualified scientist?

Not sure that saying "fracking is safe" is necessarily accurate. Here is what it actually says.

Frack report

So no more rubbers

Sarcasm is wasted on the stupid.

I love and worship science*

*except when it disproves my false narratives.

I'm glad we can put denial to rest. Safe fracking, evolution, climate change, etc are real. Get over it.

Blunderbus, did you read the report?

Applies nicely to you though!!!!

He probably has a childlike mental model of science.

At the time he posted, I doubt it given the content of his post. Luckily for him, I posted it(though I don't think it is the whole thing. I believe there are 3 parts).

Thanks for this. I had seen versions of it in other places. This attempt by the Tom Steyer's of the world is not going to continue to influence people that know what the hell is going on.

Love you Avatar, BTW !

All humans have a "childlike mental model" of science.

Yourself included. That, and you're simply not very intelligent in the first place.

Appears it is not the fracking itself causing the issues, rather what is done with the waste.

Quote:Oklahoma’s current earthquake rate is now 600 times higher than its pre-fracking rate, which was based on the state’s natural seismicity, the state geological survey said.

“We suspect the vast majority of these earthquakes are from produced wastewater,” said Austin Holland, head seismologist for the Oklahoma Geological Survey.

Quote:Abandoning years of official skepticism, Oklahoma’s government on Tuesday embraced a scientific consensus that earthquakes rocking the state are largely caused by the underground disposal of billions of barrels of wastewater from oil and gas wells.

Humans created the scientific model, but they only have a childlike understanding of it.

Makes total sense to me.
