airborne carcinogens found at US fracking sites

[carcinogen]

I am no activist nor environmentalist, but Fracking is utter madness.

Dangerously high levels of cancer-causing chemicals have been discovered in the air around “fracking” sites in the United States - highlighting the need for tougher regulations to control oil and gas extraction in Britain, scientists said.

Levels of benzene, formaldehyde and hydrogen sulphide were many times above the US’s air pollution limits and were detected within residential areas near to fracking wells drilled across five different states, the researchers said.

but they told me injecting water into the earth at high pressure, polluting the ground water, forcing gas to escape and causing disturbances to the earth and rocks was safe.......

this must be a conspiracy

Will there be access to poetry at these fracking sites for the workmen to relax with ?

There are fears that Japan could possibly do an "Atlantis" and sink underwater in a series of catastophic earthquakes
and tsunamis. The blokes can be cruel gits, but a lot of Japanese girls are very attractive and would miss them a lot.
I would invade North Korea, kick out that little shit that runs the place , and move the Japanese there.

Move the Japanese into a Buffer state between Israel and the Arabs Bound to be great fun for all
