Bush-Obama’s methane legacy — “Freedom Gas” choking the biosphere…
From the article:
“Between 2005 and 2015, fracking went from producing 31 billion cubic meters of shale gas per year to producing 435 billion cubic meters.
“Nearly 90 percent of that fracking took place in the U.S., while about 10 percent was done in Canada.”
Like domestic oil production, hydraulic fracturing exploded under President Obama — spearheaded by Sec. Clinton’s efforts to spread this uniquely destructive fossil-fuel to the rest of the world: https://www.theguardian.com/…/how-hillary-clintons-state-de…

It’s up to us to reform our governments, holding all politicians accountable (not just the personally ugly, less educated ones) — either that, or quit pretending to have any morally-grounded, reality-based objections to the presidency of Donald Trump.
