Get cracking with fracking20 Mar 2017 14:05
Unfortunately so many 'usually younger people' have been hoodwinked by statements by Friends of the Earth and Greenpeace. In other places we have report of cattle dyiing in fields and flu like symptoms. Let us get it in context. Fracking in American has halved the price of oil on the international markets. Are the FP and FoI adherents refusing to pay lower prices to fill their cars ? Not at all they are enjoying and extra £30 per month cash from the lower prices that they are paying. The real reason that FoI and GP are so verciferous about fracking is because the object to the use of fossil fuels, but still turn their gas central heating up on chilly nights. . Well in the last 750,000 years Great Britain has suffered 4 ice ages and the last one only stopped 11,000 years ago, and some of them lasted for more than 100,000 years. The truth is that the planet warms up and cools down naturally it has always done this and it always will, and unless GP and FoI are able to adopt God-like powers, then they are in the position of telling the tide not to come in Canute style .Moreover, Great Britain is heading North and in a few million years it will be ice-bound and virtually uninhabitable and this will continue until the point where it comes up against the Pacifc plate and will probably be subducted to be spewed forth over the years from volcanoes as molten lava . So there is no such thing as an OPTIMUM CLIMATE, or static geography, it is always changing
