- End of September 2023, Canada’s wildfires still raging (please don’t call it “season” which is propaganda normalizing it)
What will Canada’s wildfires look like when frac’ers inject the last billion gallons of water in dry jurisdictions?
What will they look like after hundreds of thousands of fracs permanently leak methane and other flammable hydrocarbons to surface (that are underground and impossible to repair)?

- Homo sapiens mutilates the tree of life, destroying conditions on earth that make human life possible.
In my view, Homo sapiens proved its evil nature when it began frac’ing the earth. It’s impossible to repair industry’s trillions of fracs and impossible to put that leaking frac’d methane back.
Satan has been unleashed, never to be locked underground again.
Carbon capture and sequestration/storage is an industry con job that doesn’t work, enabled by ...

- Synergy Strikes Again! CAPE (BC doctors) & CANE (nurses) blame LNG and frac’ing for rampant wildfires and disease but do not call for a ban, instead they ask for a pause on new fracs to study harms that have already been studied (for years)!
CAPE and CANE need to get with the frac ban program. They even link to PSE’s eighth (2022) Frac Harm Compendium on their LNG harms website, https://www.lngharms.ca/. They have known better for years, but do not do better.

@MichaelGerrard:
… After a trial where climate scientists testified under oath and were subject to cross examination (very rare in itself), the court issued a 103-page decision that found that fossil fuel use is the principal cause of climate change, which in turn is causing serious health and environmental impacts that will continue to get worse. ...

An acclaimed science journalist’s years-long investigation into how the US oil and gas industry has averted environmental regulations and created a dangerous public health crisis.

In today’s dollars, and adding the financial harm from drinking water contamination and frac’ing causing permanent loss of water from the hydrogeological cycle, I think a complete frac ban is most appropriate.

As a woman with a career in science working for decades in the even more sexist oil and gas industry in misogynistic Alberta, this Lindau Nobel news is hideous, but typical. It’s standard abusive behaviour by many old white men in science, judges on rape cases, the legal industry and elsewhere. They are too greedy ...

Exclusive: For Decades He Railed Against Fracking — Now His Wife Has a Type of Cancer Linked to Fracking Chemicals, For two decades, Ron Gulla has been speaking out about how fracking is harmful to human health. Last year, Gulla’s wife was diagnosed with an aggressive form of acute myeloid leukemia — a condition that ...
- Canada needs to start jailing law-violating polluting frac’ers too. Ohio: Benjamin Altier and his company ordered to pay more than $20,000.00 in fines and sentenced to 30 days in jail, 50 hours community service, three years of community control for theft (fabricating wastewater disposal tickets and taking money for them), dumping waste on land, improperly storing the rest.
In my view, the reason corporations like Teck, tarsands miners, and Encana/Ovintiv et al intentionally break the law and pollute, is because they know Canadian “regulators” and courts will let them get away with it more often than not.
And worse, they know Canadian authorities often bully and punish the harmed instead of the guilty ...
