Wake up to reality

Re: the Oct. 5 news story LNG OK renews interest 

I am curious about the photo of what I am assuming is the proposed Kitimat LNG plant. I am questioning whether the designers have addressed the major issue of climate change.

Depending on where you get your news and information, the majority do project a rise in ocean levels, just by how many metres is unknown. Taking a second look at the picture posted with the news item, the elevation of the plant does not appear to be that much above sea level. Could just be the artist’s rendering but I’m thinking a bit higher would be good.
 
At your local gas station, water is already more expensive than fuel. The impending fracking of B.C. to harness the LNG will have a seriously detrimental effect on our seemingly abundant water supply. Where you once had a pure aquifer, you now have poison, oh and gas.

Educate yourselves and research the water situations anywhere fracking has being done.

As kids we would drink from any creek. Not a chance I would do it now, mainly as “range land” is everywhere, you never know what is upstream. Without water there is no life. 
 
Earthquakes are another possible result of fracking. Google the effects of fracking. We already live on a fault line and are about to shake it up.
 
Have you been outdoors, where are the bugs, birds and wildlife that have decreased in my lifetime? Dead, dying, diseased trees, soil that does not absorb water, we are killing our world with our obsession to have bigger and better. Slow down, look around and wake up.
