Forecast gas production growth will bust the climate, even with no methane leakage.

For some time now scientists have been warning about the dangers of fracking and toxic chemicals and how they might include carcinogens, reproductive toxicants and what are known as endocrine disrupting chemicals or EDCs.

Eventually what goes down, must come up. And to the relief of everyone in the oil industry, the global energy watchdog, the International Energy Agency (IEA) believes that there are signs that oil prices "might have bottomed out.”

As NASA releases a "bombshell" on climate change, a new report concludes that fracking is encouraging the development of other energy-intensive infrastructure and industries which in turn produce vast amounts of carbon dioxide.

The low oil price continues to cause carnage with the oil industry and increasingly once-untouchable US shale companies. Indeed, the Saudi strategy to kneecap the American fracking industry looks not only like it is paying off, but will not be reversed anytime soon.

One of the main arguments that the pro-frackers put forward about adopting the controversial technology is that it is a clean, secure fuel that can be used to bridge the gap between dirtier fossil fuels and cleaner renewable energy.

We’ve long known that the oil and gas industry was buying politicians. The latest expose from the New York Times confirms it once again, and this time it is frackers in the lead.

There are many ways you can question the logic of the British Government’s pro-fracking push.

As the British Parliament winds down for the festive Christmas season, the Government has been accused of trying to "bury bad news" and hide a raft of unpopular policies, some of which have a huge impact on its commitments to climate change.

When he concluded his speech at the start of the recent UN climate change summit in Paris, the British Prime Minister, David Cameron said: “Instead of making excuses tomorrow to our children and grandchildren, we should be taking action against climate change today.”
