However, what I would like to see is some number crunching of all the consequential carbon emissions that will arise from getting shale gas from [small physical footprint] wellhead to [CCS-free] power station (etc)…

The Climate Change Letters PDF of Wigley’s article is here.

What is that if it is not methane contamination of water supply? Therefore, as Josh Fox makes clear in his second film, if methane is already in circulation, fracking will drive it to the surface; thereby making a natural problem much worse.

Very interesting, I did not know this. Note: spontaneous burning of methane has been known for thousands of years. If highly conservative and conservationist Swiss cantons start to frack (we are not yet there) ecologists should get in a bargaining position rather than brute opposition.

When https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/482162-rishale.html opens select the PAGES tab at top, wait for all pages to fill and then download PDF.

I see what looks like blue and black ink splurges down the page.

The downloaded PDF is incomplete compare to the online readable version.

Anybody else experience this?
