Clean up Canada's fracking mess

Infrared camera captures potent methane emissions from gas compressor station.

The liquefied natural gas/fracking industry is dumping methane and other harmful chemicals into the air 24 hours a day. Methane is a greenhouse gas that traps 84 times as much heat in the atmosphere as carbon dioxide, accelerating climate change and making this a serious problem.

In northeastern B.C., the David Suzuki Foundation and St. Francis Xavier University recently completed the first ever ground-based measurement of methane emissions in Canada.
