We have a fracking site here in Doncaster but it's heavily disguised Baz. Better to treat common people like mushrooms....Keep them in the dark and feed them sh$t...

No, but we're doing a bloody good job of poisoning it and otherwise destroying it.

Yes that's correct Muddy and 28% is mountains, lakes, deserts, jungles and unsuitable land. So that's 99%...Take into account farmland and pasture and you will arrive at less than 1%.....The UK represents 0.02% of the total. So some difference we can make....

Sure, there are places where the pollution has accumulated and is a serious problem, but it's hardly threatening the future of our oceans.

But we CAN make a difference, that's the point. Whataboutery is simply a cop out. In our home every time a motion detector trips out and turns a light off having detected no movement in ten minutes MAKES A DIFFERENCE. Every time a time switch turns an entertainment thing from standby to off MAKES A DIFFERENCE.

Nothing would surprise me if there was OGF. However, some of the items I found about fracking pointed to investments in fracking were not expected to make a good return. Without that it doesn't seem to be viable for investors and this element if not met would seem to spell the end of fracking. That plus the opposition to fracking sites generally because of problems being caused would be another factor.
