Subterranean: Fracking and its consequences with Colin Jerolmack

Hi everyone and welcome to another great episode of Wild Connection: The Podcast. We were off for two weeks working on a few projects so more on that in the coming weeks. This week I talk with Colin Jerolmack, Associate Professor of Sociology and Environmental Studies at NYU about his book Up To Heaven And Down To Hell: Fracking Freedom And Community In An American Town

I recorded this before the monster heat wave that hit the pacific NW and British Columbia. Why is this relevant? Methane is probably the most consequential greenhouse gas and that is what is involved in most cases with extraction using hydraulic fracking. Whether we like it or not, believe it or not, climate change is here and methane is a big part of that consequence since it is a much more potent global warming gas.
