Two million head of cattle were moved out of Texas due to the drought. More land available now for fracking and using up more water?
Lawmakers need to address climate change too heres why...C02 issues that natural gas is NOT solving...
1) coal is being exported and burnt elsewhere
2) adapting to the goal of 2% warming is not acceptable-it is like walking around with a fever of 98.6 + 2 = 100.6 fever see 39 minutes into this video on this analogy ...http://billmoyers.com/episode/full-show-ending-the-silence-on-climate-change/
3) methane leaks worsen warming
