Climate change is real, and virtually everyone who doesn't watch Fox News (average age of viewers 68.2) believes that much of this is caused by mankind. In the series "Years Of Living Dangerously," scientists point out that fracking delays our move to renewable energy and that fracking wells leak a large amount of methane gas which makes fracked gas as dirty or dirtier than burning coal. Further, it states that the U.S. has contributed the largest amount of carbon emissions already in the atmosphere and it bears responsibility for climate change impacts.

Chicken Little has warned for the past 40 years of the danger to essential species such as bees by pesticides, health concerns caused by air pollution, the need for more fuel efficient and alternative fuel for motorized vehicles and the need to transition to renewable solar and wind energy, all of which are job creators.

All of these warnings have proven to be true and all lead to better health for all of mankind, all other necessary species and our planet for thousands of years to come you just haven't been listening and time is running out for our children and grandchildren. Vote "YES" on the fracking moratorium.
