Speaking of the Talkfest in Qatar, it was announced there that "The amount of heat-trapping pollution the world spewed rose again last year by 3 percent."

In spite of this emissions in the U.S. were down 2%, thanks largely to... hydraulic fracturing.

Cheaper, cleaner, abundant, emissions lowering fuel which doesn't kill bald eagles or ruin a good view of Cape Cod in the process. What's not to love?

Fracking is destroying the environment as much as burning coal. It releases fugative methane emissions as well as poisoning the water table. Methane is many times more a problem than CO2 and is serious atmospheric pollution. You have traded emissions you can track for those you can't, a nice piece of slight of hand, and in any case you are cheating because China is now producing the pollution for you
