    I loved the bit at the end of the article.

    Jeffrey McManus with the Chesapeake Climate Action Network warned lawmakers about this new evidence that shale gas is a “serious threat” to the climate during a hearing Wednesday in Annapolis on bills that would require tighter regulation or a two-year study of “fracking.” No one asked him any questions, or even seemed to pay much heed.

    There’s that magic word again – “estimate”.

    They have zero hard science or numbers, just guesses and estimates. What a fool’s game.
