Fracking is as bad as smoking?

Fracking is a major issue all over the world today, news articles are being released daily showing that the struggle to stop it or to keep it going is global. Such articles depict protests, riots, reactions from government officials and even statements from the companies attempting to frack. One such news article was released this past Friday, November 28th. In this article released by The Independent, they stated that fracking is a situation we do not fully understand yet. Most scientists agree, however, that the innovation of fracking is tremendous but sending us in the wrong direction. They then compared it to such things as smocking and asbestos, where their use didn't seem negative at the time but now are seen to cause major health and environmental defects. This is the direction that the world knows fracking is heading. The signs are already there, with undrinkable water supplies, acid rain and numerous other negative environmental effects, the world has had enough of companies destroying our planet. This picture depicts a father and his son protesting fracking. The sign saying "Frack Off" clearly show the annoyed and aggravated emotion of most protesters of fracking. This father wants to protect his son and show him whats right. Fracking is going in the wrong direction, the world just needs to listen.
