On a global scale (which is the way one should consider global
warming), a slightly warmer globe would not be a problem, it would
be a good thing.

That depends. If there is enough irrigation water around, perhaps
no problem, but here in the US we are depleting aquifers already.
If there is going to be less snow in the mountains, there will be
less of a summertime reservoir of water (it will have run off the
mountains before spring is finished).

And if we continue to destroy aquifers with fracking, the USA will
have little to no drinkable or farmable water available. I worry
about that 1,000 times more than AGWK.

I worry about that too, Larry. OTOH, that is an engineering and
regulation problem. It can be done safely, I believe. But there
needs to be oversight and punishment in case things go wrong. The
main things are 4-fold (I'm a biochemist so I have absolutely no
standing): First, the borehole should be warranteed to be free of
defects, with the companies in charge responsible to the extent that
they have to prove they are not responsible, rather than the
"government" needing to prove they are. Second, the waste should be
cleaned up and /properly/ disposed of. Again same conditions. Third,
the fact that the water supply in the area was fine before fracking
proves that fracking was responsible for it being fouled (if so) after
fracking started, and again, same conditions. Fourth, any earthquakes
and damage from them are the direct responsibility of the fracking
companies.

We're too late on that count. Big Oil actually got the gov't to allow
them to BYPASS the Clean Water Act and Clean Air Act for their
production of natural gas via fracking. They have a license to taint
all the air and water they want, and we can't do a damned thing about
it. I'd like to see come CONgresscritter heads taken off as a result
of that little treasonous act against the people of the USA. Ditto
the pact they made with Big Pharma in Medicare Part D.

If Satan exists, he's our CONgress.

I don't like Andy Cuomo,but at least he has the frackers under control.
