In reply to the discussion: We. Were. Warned. [View all]goclark
(30,404 posts)33. We are having so much FRACKING in Los Angeles
We are working 24/7 to stop the drilling because of all the damages done to the homes asnd land around it.
The Oil Company hired an " outside company" to see if they were to blame if even iit was just a tiny bit.
" Report" came back ---- " there was not ANY indication that the OIL COMPANY was at fault --" NADA!
They said that the earthquakes were to blame --- NOT!!!!!!
At a recent committee meeting attended by about 25 Residents representing the community, we were asked to raise our hand IF
any damage was done to your property during/after any EARTHQUAKE, during the time you have lived in that home.
Many of the homes were built in 1940's ---- of those present.
only 4 raised their hand -- the most damage that they recalled
was " PICTURE or two fell off the wall "
Now we know the " Big One " is coming but that is the current status.

But, but, but I heard on Fox that global warming is just a hoax to make Al Gore's friends rich.

If Katrina cost $108 billion, how can anybody say Sandy is in the range of $50 billion?

Yet some people on this website are still pushing the "this doesn't prove anything" line.
