  .....states that there is 95% certainty climate change is man made.

  people are still saying we don't need to do anything about it.. if you were told there is a 95% risk of you dying if you don't change your diet, wouldn't you change your diet?.

  I just listened to a good programme on Radio 4 about climate change. The guests pretty much agreed that confidence in the climate change science is growing but that fewer people are taking it seriously.

  Now that is funny! LOL.

  Methane is a green-house gas source that is actually more potent than CO2.

  But it also dissapates far faster in the atmosphere and was seized on mistakenly by the EPA as a far greater global-warming contributor than what many have known to be the case all along.

  A methane leaks study based on real measurements released just this week by the University of Texas and the Environmental Defense Fund, among others, shows that methane emissions from Nat Gas operations are not only generally LOWER than the EPA has been estimating, but in the key category of well completions by hydraulic fracturing those estimates may be more tha 30 times, or 3000% too high.

  comprende, hamada?

  Key words - University of Texas - Environmental Defense Fund. methane emissions. Do your own homework.

  "...The EPA revisions came even though natural gas production has grown by nearly 40 percent since 1990. The industry has boomed in recent years, thanks to a stunning expansion of drilling in previously untapped areas because of the use of hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, which injects sand, water and chemicals to break apart rock and free the gas inside...

  Experts on both sides of the debate say the leaks can be controlled by fixes such as better gaskets, maintenance and monitoring. Such fixes are also thought to be cost-effective, since the industry ends up with more product to sell..."

  So, what's your point?

  Mine is unchanged. The EPA has been forced to admit that they were talking through their ass about methane emissions.

  Huffington Post has an article on the same EPA retreat.

  PS This has been a broadly released news item. Several sources have covered it. But you ask me for a link?

  Maybe less time playing Grand Theft Auto and more time reading the net and newspapers, big mouth.

  UPDATE (4/28/2013; 6:56 pm ET): The Associated Press reports that the EPA has “dramatically lowered its estimate of how much of a potent heat-trapping gas leaks during natural gas production,” based on data in the agency’s latest GHG Inventory. The AP further notes:

  The scope of the EPA’s revision was vast. In a mid-April report on greenhouse emissions, the agency now says that tighter pollution controls instituted by the industry resulted in an average annual decrease of 41.6 million metric tons of methane emissions from 1990 through 2010, or more than 850 million metric tons overall. That’s about a 20 percent reduction from previous estimates. The agency converts the methane emissions into their equivalent in carbon dioxide, following standard scientific practice.

  The EPA revisions came even though natural gas production has grown by nearly 40 percent since 1990. The industry has boomed in recent years, thanks to a stunning expansion of drilling in previously untapped areas because of the use of hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, which injects sand, water and chemicals to break apart rock and free the gas inside.

  It isn't, we export more than we import.

  If this is true, why?

  Isn't transport one of the most common ways that spillage and pollution occurs? The use of the fuel at the ultimate destination is no where nearly environmentally regulated as much as it is here.

  If a gallon of US gasoline COULD cost $1.39, what is the incentive for the oil companies to market it here?

  It is like eskimos buying ice cubes from the Sahara. Something smells.

  OK. So we see pollution illustrated by a poor bird. We see the prices at the pump that most of the world would envy. We see a gratuitous Bush pic. (Why not the pic of Obama bowing to the same guy?)

  But then we see a pic of the filthy rich potentates of the middle east. A real clue.

  So why is developing our own abundant resources in North America such a problem because of government obstacles?

  The EPA has recently had to back off a totally false claim that fraking caused a huge release of methane. They only exaggerated by 3000%. Politics/Money is the reason. The global climate conspiracy issue is the control mechanism. The US use of carbon fuels is so much cleaner it is like mothers milk compared to the deathly pollution of China and other countries that are trying to catch up. Kyoto Protocol is a scam that has been exposed.

  This is a subject of endless argument. The pictures are provocative but basically mean zero to the discussion.

  " There are many compelling reasons to move away from an oil based economy that have nothing to do with climate change."

  like what?

  You sound like a bright, responsible young man. Too bad your mother doesn't get the "Personal Dedication" aspect of getting baptized. Adults read carefully before signing a contract on a lousy 30 year mortgage. Getting baptised as a member of a large JW family, under pressure is stupid.

  Getting Baptized is more serious than getting a tattoo that will be with you forever.

  Hang tough.
