Thank you!

"Micro Seismic Event" (MSE?) seems a less alarmist bit of phraseology.

BUT, I still do not know or understand if these MSE's are exactly what was intended by the process of fracking, or is it a bit worse or far worse?

Without "highly sophisticated monitoring equipment" would any of this have been detected?

CUADRILLA STATEMENT ON 1.1ML RED EVENT

Cuadrilla can confirm that a micro seismic event measuring 1.1ML (local magnitude) was detected at about 11.30am today (Monday, October 29) whilst the team were hydraulically fracturing at our exploration site in Preston New Road, Little Plumpton, Lancashire.

This is the latest micro seismic event to be detected by the organisation’s highly sophisticated monitoring systems and verified by the British Geological Survey (BGS). This will be classed as a ‘red’ event as part of the traffic light system operated by the Oil and Gas Authority but as we have said many times this level is way below anything that can be felt at surface and a very long way from anything that would cause damage or harm.

In line with regulations, hydraulic fracturing has paused for 18 hours now, during which seismicity will continue to be closely monitored by ourselves and the relevant regulators. Well integrity has been checked and verified.

There have been several other micro seismic events since, mostly in the immediate aftermath

The BBC are realising people are bored.

Averages in Climate Science can now be produced from imaginary data. Salaries in US Climate Science can now be paid with imaginary money.

"For its recent 1.5°C report the IPCC has changed the definition of climate to what has been loosely called “the climate we are in.” It still uses 30 years for its estimate of global warming and hence climate – but now it is the 30 years centred on the present.

There are some obvious problems with this hidden change of goalposts. We have observational temperature data for the past 15 years but, of course, none for the next 15 years. However, never let it be said that the absence of data is a problem for inventive climate scientists."

I think the BBC will get bored once they realise how bored the public are having realised that no teacups have been rattled. The BBC will then have to restore their credibility before a genuine Earthquake Disaster requires an Emergency Appeal to the very Charitable nature of the UK's Citizens and BBC Licence Fee Payers.

The BBC stopped reporting on the EU Migrant Crisis once the EU realised that it was creating more bad publicity for the EU. The BBC were too slow to realise how the BBC tipped the balance towards BREXIT, by highlighting problems in France because migrants were stuck in France.

Other EU media were not so quick to spare Merkel's blushes.

The BBC's role in BREXIT has never been given proper acknowledgement. They are now associating themselves with failed antifrackers and failed Climate Science.

@IDAU interesting article, thanks...

District Heating and more recently CHP are considered most successful in building complexes where complaints by occupiers can be ignored without consequences. The former USSR and Eastern Block countries never reported any problems at all and deemed them a great success.

In the UK (and elsewhere), maintenance and repair costs became prohibitive, due to the asbestos insulation used on the distribution pipework, and many became economically unrepairable, so they fell into disrepair and disrepute.
