The Truth Has Not Changed for Misleading Fracking Filmmaker

This article is full of hyperbole, and confusing the terms truth and fact. Facts indeed do change, while truth is eternal. For you "scientists" out there whose mouse pointers are undoubtedly hovering over the down vote icon, the scientific method is relatively well understood. Hypothesis, experimentation, theory, and law. It is truth that establishes law and is not of anyone's own interpretation, because that is what the law says of itself.

Is fracking safe? Anyone who says yes, is a dolt. Whether it can be done safely is another question. Yet, the fact remains there are inherent risks associated with it. Proponents of the fracking industry likely benefit from it in some way, whether financially or otherwise. Yet, I will say it again, it is not without risk. Acceptable risk is a relative term. What is acceptable risk? This is what the discussion should center around, not whether it is safe or not, because it's not, as a matter of fact. Neither do electric vehicles spontaneously combust for no reason. There are charlatans on both sides of the debate, whether it's climate, ecology, or likewise. What is missing is accountability, and that is judgement deferred, at least until Christ returns.
