Tens of thousands of people including Jose Hernandez of Chapel Hill, writing his message on the street, gathered at Shaw University in downtown Raleigh, North Carolina February 8, 2014. The march will go to the doorstep of the State Capitol. For the past seven years, a fusion movement has been growing in North Carolina. In 2006, the Historic Thousands on Jones St. (HKonJ) People's Assembly Coalition was formed under the leadership of Rev. Dr. William J. Barber, II and the North Carolina NAACP. It has grown to include over 150 coalition partners. Each year this fusion movement comes together on the second Saturday in February to hold a mass people's assembly to reaffirm its commitment to the 14 Point People's Agenda and to hold lawmakers accountable to the people of North Carolina.

Protesting the Kinder Morgan pipeline, which will bring crude oil and refined petroleum from the oil sands in Alberta to Vancouver, British Columbia, presumably to be shipped to China. This will increase tanker traffic in and is a danger to our already threatened marine life in the Inside Passage, where two recent spills in two months have already occurred this year. An estimated 5,000 protesters joined the march, from the City Hall to the downtown library.

Stop the Frack Attack National Summit at Holiday Inn - Stapleton in Denver, Oct 3-5
Ten activists from the Shale Must Fall network, Gastivists Collective, and Climate Camp Scotland beamed a series of unpermitted 40-meter “guerrilla projections” onto the iconic COP26 Climate Summit venue in Glasgow. This action came just days after leaked European Commission documents revealed plans to fast-track approval to 30 new fossil gas infrastructure projects through the “Projects of Common Interest” (PCI) list. The images – which included scandalous infrared images of methane leakage from British and European fossil gas infrastructure – were aimed at drawing attention to the “Methane Gap” between what was promised in the Global Methane Pledge and the construction of new methane infrastructure in Europe.
“The European Commission’s likely decision to support up to 30 new fossil gas infrastructure projects shows the huge gap between political rhetoric at COP26 and policy back in Brussels. Fossil gas production leaks methane every step of the way: from fracking to freezing to shipping to piping, reducing those super-charged emissions is the low-hanging fruit for climate action, but those emissions need to be treated holistically,” said Neal Huddon-Cossar of the Gastivists Collective. “Putting a few bandaids over the leaks isn’t getting to the root of the problem – our governments need to stop importing methane and commit to leaving greenhouse gases where they belong – underground.”
The European Commission's 5th proposed “Projects of Common Interest" include the contentious EastMed deep-sea gas pipeline that would bring fossil gas into Europe from the disputed waters of Palestine, Israel, Cyprus, Greece, and Turkey. The PCI list gives projects fast-tracked priority for funding, permitting, and support at the EU level. Infrared monitoring technologies, such as those projected during the action, have raised the profile and awareness about the role of methane leaks from fracking and fossil gas infrastructure in contributing to global warming. Methane, conventionally sold as “natural gas,” is both a fossil fuel and a greenhouse gas more than 100 times more potent than CO2 while in the atmosphere. Europe is responsible for nearly half of global gas imports, and in Europe, fossil gas is already responsible for more CO2 emissions than coal.
“We are in Glasgow to denounce the genocide and ethnic cleansing being committed by extractivist European corporations that have already taken the life of activists like Samir Flores,” said Miriam Vargas of the Futuros Indigenas network in Mexico. “We denounce that corporations keep extracting land, water, lives, and peace from our territories. We demand an immediate stop to this nonconsensual extraction in our territory.”
The action sought to strengthen the international push to force governments to abandon the construction of new methane infrastructure globally and declare a global fracking ban.
“This is not terribly complicated: methane is a super-charged greenhouse gas that is already underground – all we have to do is leave it there. The fact that Scotland deems it dangerous to frack here and yet continues to allow Ineos to import fracked gas is simply immoral – if it's not okay to frack here, it's not okay to pay someone else to do it,” said Jemma Kettlewell of Climate Camp Scotland. “Europe tries to hide the true emissions of fossil gas imports, but methane doesn’t stop at our borders. Whether we import it to burn, or to make plastics, or to make petrochemicals, imported methane comes with a heavy price tag for the climate, not to mention the impacts of such industries on local communities like Mossmorran. Any European energy strategy that continues to rely on leaky, immoral, expensive, and imported fossil gas simply has no place in our clean energy future.”

In March 2013, the Maryland Sierra Club joins fellow environmentalists in Annapolis to rally against immediate fracking in Maryland.
Four combustors make up a four well pad on Watkins Road just south of East Jewell Avenue. Combustors burn off the gas that flows back after fracking and burn cleaner than an open flare. State officials are tugged between oil industry interests — trying to make extraction easier and cheaper, especially in light of a recent drop in crude oil prices — and residents backed by local governments that want more control and oversight to keep rigs as far away from homes as possible.
