Well, it sure doesn't take much to bring them out of the woodwork, does it?

In Oklahoma which has had stronger earthquakes than in Arkansas, Texas, or Ohio, the experts differ if it's caused by fracking. Oklahoma Earthquake Page

So do I.

I never claimed that, however you wanted to read that into it.
I also find insistance by left leaning people that just changing behavior will alter climate
without addressing the behavior that gives us unbounded population increases.

No you pay attention:
You insisted that a weather even was proof of climate change. It is not.
People that know what they are talking about also know this. You do not.
You don't know the difference between weather and climate.

I'll also point out that the topic isn't climate change, but you are the one that drove it off topic.
If you want to whine about this topic, start another thread and try to stay on topic.

Yeah, what could go wrong with fracturing the rock below our feet....

"It's not clear how many wells in the rural community of Dimock Township were affected by the drilling. The state has found that at least 18 residential water wells were polluted."

I think alternative renewable energy should be our first choice. Other countries are way ahead of us in this area.



State Representative Robert Hagan has . . . called for a statewide moratorium on injection drilling until 2014. The Youngstown City Council voted Wednesday to support his proposal.

'I'm tired of these discussions happening in secret,' Mr Hagan said.

'People have a right to know what's going on, what's being done.'
I got a real kick out of seeing the same picture of that fracking sand in the link you offered in my daily paper with an indication of the fact that that picture is from Wisconsin. Why would something like that be in an Ohio paper without any indication of where it is?

Maybe it's caused by "farting around" in Washington DC. They had a quake there.
