Fracking lowers USA's CO2 out put again

I could care less about how much CO2 we produce, but the man caused global warming faithful will be glad to know that because of fracking, natural gas has become the preferred fuel for producing energy causing our output of CO2 to decline.

Europe does not frack and they are increasing the amount of CO2 they produce. See the Paris climate deal was meaningless…

" U.S. CO2 levels again declined during 2017, despite overall global output again rising. Credit U.S. fracking and the natural gas boom."

" Meanwhile, Europe has imposed massive economy-deadening regulations on its economies in order to reduce CO2 output. How has that worked?

Last year, European output of CO2 rose 1.5%, while U.S. output fell 0.5%."

Small amounts of CO2, yea, I wouldn’t worry either. Metric ■■■■■■■■■ Yea, should at least raise some caution.

Why everyone isn’t up in arms over our world’s fresh water supply for all being placed at risk, in exchange for huge profits for a few…is beyond me?

6

Private gain, social costs are sorta in our country’s DNA.

8

You do see the irony of the left trying to stop fracking which lowers our CO2 output…

9

How is cheaper energy not a social plus? It makes everyone richer, and healthier.

10

Fracking makes people healthier.

Make that your campaign slogan please. I want to hear the laughter for myself.

11

Yes, because it keeps you warm in the winter at a price you can afford.

13

…except for that lady drinking the arsenic.

14

You aren’t seriously asking this question are you?

15

You are drinking arsenic too. so am I… There is always some in your water.

17

Oh, OK. Then that must mean we will all be fine if we drink water with 18 ties normal arsenic levels in it. Good to know!

18

We’re on common ground?

19

Seems so - but your question is pretty naive. People aren’t up in arms over it because there is tons of money to be made in Fracking, and the conservative media has spent billions of dollars in air time convincing people like the OP that everything is fine with fracking.

20

Ok…are there more conservative or liberal news sources? Why isn’t the non-conservative media having a conniption?

22

Radioactive waste will keep it warm too.

Is this healthy?

23

Does she live in Flint or something… ?

24

Grasping at straws there…lol

25

Fracking has also made US the biggest exporter of oil in the world…

…

Just pointing out logical fallacies.
