Hope And Choom

Leading progressive researcher HopeForPeace says I don’t do interviews, and that I am a liar for claiming that I do. She used her world class Internet search skills to arrive at this conclusion.

Spencer is not the first to criticize NCDC’s adjustments to temperature data. Science blogger Steven Goddard (his pen name) has been arguing for years that government climate agencies have been tampering with temperature data to create a significant warming trend where none actually exists.

“NCDC pulls every trick in the book to turn the US cooling trend into warming. The raw data shows cooling since the 1920s,” Goddard told The Daily Caller News Foundation in a previous interview.

    No .. Steve that is untrue.

    I simply asked you for citation of the interviews you said you do “all the time”.

    You are lying about me to your followers. I would think they can see that.

      More projection from the liar who denies the 43rd Judicial District court ruling…

      The court, having reviewed the law and evidence as well as motions, briefs and arguments of the counsel of this case denies plaintiffs section 27 Anti-Slapp motion to dismiss Range’s counter claims. The court references with concerns the actions of Steven Lipsky, under the advice or direction of Mrs Alicia Rich to intentionally attach a garden hose to a gas vent – not to a water line – and then light and burn the gas from the end of the nozzle of the hose. The demonstration was not done for scientific study but to provide local and national news media a deceptive video, calculated to alarm the public into believing the water was burning. There is further evidence that Rich knew the regional EPA administration and provided or assisted in providing additional mislead information (including the garden hose video) to alarm the EPA. More over the emails in question which refer to this deceptive garden hose demonstration as a “strategy” appear to support that a “meeting of the minds” took place and that a reasonable trier of fact could believe, together with other evidence, That elements of a conspiracy to defame Range exist.

      Therefore pursuant to Texas practice and Remedies code 27 as a finding of fact and conclusion of law, the court observes that Range has presented sufficient clear and specific evidence to maintain a prima facia case with regard to the counter claim against plaintiffs and the third party action against Lisa Rich in that a reasonable trier of fact could believe that a conspiracy to defame Range existed between Lipsky and Mrs Rich.

        There are not insults strong enough to do you justice.

        • gator69 says:

          The EPA withdrew the order because an agreement with Range Resources was underway; the costs and risks of litigating this particular case were likely to be very high and the needed short-term benefits would be low, if any; and immediate human health risks were believed to have been addressed.

          Gee, no human health risks! 😆

          And then again they knew they would be defending known frauds and liars. 😆

          The CASE has NOT been heard, Gator.

          There was enough prima facia evidence to allow the case to go forward and deny the Anti-Slapp motion.

          I’m sorry you can;t read.

          “The appeals panel had been considering whether Loftin ruled properly last year when he found that a state law that bans litigation meant to stifle public protest didn’t bar Range’s lawsuit. ”

        No. You required I post the interview on youtube:

        “I expect our discussion to remain intact, streamed live, and be posted on YouTube for posterity.” Steve/Tony

        Then required that I agree that no one can download it from youtube:

        ” I expect you to write a permanently displayed and clear disclaimer that the interview is intended to be kept intact, and any other use is a violation of the agreement made between us.” Steve/Tony

        (please finally answer me as to what you prefer to be called)

        That is a preposterous request no one can agree to.

        STILL today I tried again to see if we could go forward:

        “Offer stands, I’d be happy to be the first to post an interview of you. I will add the disclaimer to the entire video and give it context (I myself do not even agree with it).

      Hope Forpeace says “You (*) are lying about me to your followers. I would think they can see that.”

      * Steven Goddard

      An occasional exaggeration to illuminate a particular point is, to me, excusable.

      One of the great developments in the past ten years or so is the “right” finally learning that to talk to the “left” you must use leftist language and tactics inspired in part by Saul Alinsky. I worry sometimes that the left might actually learn to speak “right” but I have a doubt it is possible.

      If I go to a foreign nation, if I expect to be understood, I must speak their language.

      The left is motivated primarily by feelings (right brained). Feelings cannot be directly communicated; you use proxies (words, pictures) for feelings, but that’s unpredictable since the other person may interpret the proxy differently, or even take the proxy at face value.

      That is why the typical libertarian or right winger sees the left lying nearly constantly; the left uses words like a paint brush to paint a picture, factuality of the words used is almost irrelevant — each is chosen for its color not its truth.

      Similarly, the right, and especially libertarians, seldom use “ridicule” failing to grasp the enormous power of ridicule — on the left!

      The “Sokal Affair” is an example of pretending to be “left” as a way to get published.

      The left, thinking the right is motivated by the color of words, goes to great lengths to “paint” Willie Soon with the paintbrush of oil money; not knowing or caring that the right wingers feel pity for the small sums available to Willie Soon — why is it so small? C’mon BP, cough it up Shell, give the man some real money!

        The comparison between the ad hom tactics of the right and the left is very easy to illuminate.

        Simply compare Amy Goodman to Ann Coulter.

        Or Bill Moyers to Hannity.

        The right is busy now with an “othering” that started with the John Birch Society’s popularizing the notion that all liberals are God and America hating Commie-fascist-socislist-statist who are idiots (esp the Ivy leagues types) useful to the New World Order takeover. Enviroloons who hate the poor and lie about science.

        I could not list the number of bombastic pundits on the right. And no, Rachael Maddow does not compare with Mike Savage… just compare their book titles for a good example.

        But I know cons are taught to believe that liberals are the hate-slingers … the right follows Alinsky far more than the left.

          “4 lie stories in a row .. lying to your base? Y’all accept that? I had no idea .. you get that the last three are selective editing hackjobs .. exactly in the style Steve decries?”

          Needless to say what I consider a lie you might not and vice versa. My personal style is to withhold judgment on such things until I possess enough facts to decide for myself.

          “And you defend that .. and this is a person you get scientific opinion from? Ok.”

          That is a strawman style of argumentation. It is more interesting in the way it reveals your mind than mine. I get scientific opinions from just about everyone but of course each opinion is weighted according to my sense of that person’s connection to the data and education.

          “Would you consider Mike Savage and Mark Levin Libertarian?”

          I am unfamiliar with either person. I presume you are speaking of media personalities. Of Mike Savage, Wikipedia says “Savage has characterized his views as conservative nationalism”

          The difference between a libertarian (small L) and a conservative is the extent to with the conservative imposes his beliefs on others, the absence of which denotes libertarian. Libertarians have beliefs all over the spectrum and distinct only insofar as not imposing on others, but also resisting imposition by others. I believe libertarian is the default philosophy for persons of high intelligence since such persons can see the benefits, and costs, of either or both “left” and “right” ideas; each being more “fit” for a suitable purpose at different times and places.

          “The comparison between the ad hom tactics of the right and the left is very easy to illuminate.”

          I am neither right nor left, and I suspect that is true of most Americans. But, you are correct, a difference does exist, targeting what the team thinks is the pain point of the opponent. As such it reveals more about the attacker’s weaknesses than that of the victim (ie, “projection”).

          “The right is busy now with an “othering” that started with the John Birch Society’s popularizing the notion that all liberals are God and America hating Commie-fascist-socislist-statist who are idiots (esp the Ivy leagues types) useful to the New World Order takeover. Enviroloons who hate the poor and lie about science.”

          No one can be all that at the same time (I might be surprised) but nearly every leftist is at least one of those epithets. Since these epithets have very little power to the right, they are intended to provoke the left to some sort of confirmation response; make you lose your composure (it has worked well enough right here).

          A similar theory exists at, say, DailyKOS. Nobody on the right reads it; so for whom are the epithets intended? Other leftists — keep them in the fold. So it will be with a “wavering” right winger or in-the-middle majority. If you are listening to Hannity, you are almost certainly already a right-winger (or in the middle in a small town with few choices of radio station).

          In other words, these epithets are NOT weapons aimed at the other side; nearly all epithets are aimed at the HOME TEAM to keep them in the fold. I’m not sure that it works very well.

          “I could not list the number of bombastic pundits on the right”

          Same here, but only because I am not interested in an enumerated list.

          “Rachael Maddow does not compare with Mike Savage”

          While I am not familiar with Mike Savage, I have had the misfortune of hearing Rachel Maddow a few times. Mostly I get on Huffington Post a daily note on what violent metaphor is to be applied to Rachel the previous night as she {skewered, roasted, exploded…} her right wing target that probably didn’t know he was a target. I used to anyway until about a year ago when Huffpo made a hard left turn and I went from daily viewing to about twice yearly.

          “But I know cons are taught to believe that liberals are the hate-slingers”

          Knowing a thing and having it be true are not related. It is my experience that vastly more hate emanates from the left; a review of DailyKOS for example, or your own commentary right here as compared to mine.

          “Hate” is an emotion; and emotion belongs to the left.

          “the right follows Alinsky far more than the left.”

          That is starting to become true especially when the right must deal with the left. Alinsky is the modern playbook; older playbooks still exist (Marxism) but are not sufficiently particular to our modern era.

          A suitable response by the left would be to avoid conspicuous alignment with Alinsky rules. They were designed for use organizing the left by organizers of the left. Libertarians cannot be organized. I doubt there is such a thing as “right” other than lumped in everything not left (that is why you mistake “libertarian” for “right” and so do nearly all leftists).

      So says the proven liar who defends proven liars and frauds. Again, this is not my opinion but the opinion of the 43rd Judicial District court.

      The court, having reviewed the law and evidence as well as motions, briefs and arguments of the counsel of this case denies plaintiffs section 27 Anti-Slapp motion to dismiss Range’s counter claims. The court references with concerns the actions of Steven Lipsky, under the advice or direction of Mrs Alicia Rich to intentionally attach a garden hose to a gas vent – not to a water line – and then light and burn the gas from the end of the nozzle of the hose. The demonstration was not done for scientific study but to provide local and national news media a deceptive video, calculated to alarm the public into believing the water was burning. There is further evidence that Rich knew the regional EPA administration and provided or assisted in providing additional mislead information (including the garden hose video) to alarm the EPA. More over the emails in question which refer to this deceptive garden hose demonstration as a “strategy” appear to support that a “meeting of the minds” took place and that a reasonable trier of fact could believe, together with other evidence, That elements of a conspiracy to defame Range exist.

      Therefore pursuant to Texas practice and Remedies code 27 as a finding of fact and conclusion of law, the court observes that Range has presented sufficient clear and specific evidence to maintain a prima facia case with regard to the counter claim against plaintiffs and the third party action against Lisa Rich in that a reasonable trier of fact could believe that a conspiracy to defame Range existed between Lipsky and Mrs Rich.

          This is what we are talking about, bitch.

          The court, having reviewed the law and evidence as well as motions, briefs and arguments of the counsel of this case denies plaintiffs section 27 Anti-Slapp motion to dismiss Range’s counter claims. The court references with concerns the actions of Steven Lipsky, under the advice or direction of Mrs Alicia Rich to intentionally attach a garden hose to a gas vent – not to a water line – and then light and burn the gas from the end of the nozzle of the hose. The demonstration was not done for scientific study but to provide local and national news media a deceptive video, calculated to alarm the public into believing the water was burning. There is further evidence that Rich knew the regional EPA administration and provided or assisted in providing additional mislead information (including the garden hose video) to alarm the EPA. More over the emails in question which refer to this deceptive garden hose demonstration as a “strategy” appear to support that a “meeting of the minds” took place and that a reasonable trier of fact could believe, together with other evidence, That elements of a conspiracy to defame Range exist.

          Therefore pursuant to Texas practice and Remedies code 27 as a finding of fact and conclusion of law, the court observes that Range has presented sufficient clear and specific evidence to maintain a prima facia case with regard to the counter claim against plaintiffs and the third party action against Lisa Rich in that a reasonable trier of fact could believe that a conspiracy to defame Range existed between Lipsky and Mrs Rich.

          Far more important (online anyway) is correctness; an honest person can be incorrect for a variety of reasons; just as a dishonest person can be correct and will at times go to some effort to make sure of it to hide his otherwise dishonesty.

          Honesty becomes important when you talk or write about you where no other validation exists other than your word. If it was your well flaming gas then your honesty matters; if you are simply describing someone else’s experience, then correctness becomes more important.

    Well, gator after doing a bit of looking. I have to agree with the court the gas came from the hydrocarbon producing Strawn formation.

    Ranger was drilling 2,300 feet from the water well. Ranger Resources Drilling in Barnett and Marcellus Shale

    “The Barnet Shale is about at 8900 to 8400 feet deep along highway 380 in between Denton and Decatur Texas.”http://www.thebarnettshale.com/

    “The Strawn formation consists principally of sharp-grained, moderately hard, evenly-textured sandstones, alternating with beds of blue clays… [sound like a no -go for fracking]… In the northern region (Millsap, Parker County) the lower exposed part is composed principally of blue and black clays, little sandstone, and occasional thin beds of limestone and sandy shale…. The Strawn formation is exposed in central Texas, principally in Mills and San Saba countines… The whole thickness of the formation, which can only be measured in central Texas is more than four thousand feet.” Bulletin of the University of Texas,

    Parker County is where Lipsky is.

    “The Strawn Formation is one of the more enigmatic hydrocarbon producing formations on the Eastern Shelf of the Midland Basin….The core is composed of 22 high-frequency shallowing-upward cycles. Each cycle begins with a black, fissile shale or black argillaceous lime mudstone containing and open marine fauna….Each cycle is capped by grain-rich packstones or skeletal grainstones. These grain-rich facies represent the primary reservoir facies in the Strawn Formation.”Reservoir Characterization of the Strawn

    “Jun 20, 2014 … Gas from the Strawn formation could have even migrated into the Range Resources well … EPA Withdraws Order Against Natural Gas Driller.”
    http://www.texastribune.org/2014/06/20/questions-linger-about-parker-countys-tainted-wate/

    With the EPA very anti CO2 there is no way they would drop this case unless the evidence in favor of Ranger was so overwhelming it would make the EPA look like fools.

        By the way the stinky water was probably from sulfur. Chittenango Falls NY had the stinkest water, nice calcite crystals though. (Herkimer NY has the quartz crystals.)

          Test data supplied in the report measured the chemical make-up of both the gas found in Lipsky’s water and from two nearby gas production wells, called the Butler and the Teal. According to the Railroad Commission report ‘the evidence is insufficient’ to determine if the two samples match.

          I had hoped to avoid watching it but to continue commenting I must. It is clearly intended to blame Range Resources drilling for this phenomenon.

          However, doing it at night making it impossible to see the full length of the garden hose and what it is connected to makes it useless and unpersuasive to me. But that’s after only 30 seconds of a 3.5 minute video. What more can there be? I’m already losing interest.

          At 0:42 (min/sec) text explains the well company is venting the well.

          Good heavens, if I had my own personal source of natural gas that would be awesome!

          At 3:25 “What’s wrong with this picture?” It’s dark, that’s what is wrong with the picture.

          At any rate, it appears that the problem stated is not fracking per se, it is an uncased well that allows gas from deeper strata to penetrate porous shallower strata, in effect giving everyone nearby free gas, whether they want it or not.

          Let’s try again. I am citing and providing a link to the original court document. A document signed by Judge Loftis.

          If you cannot grasp this, you are fatally retarded.

          The court, having reviewed the law and evidence as well as motions, briefs and arguments of the counsel of this case denies plaintiffs section 27 Anti-Slapp motion to dismiss Range’s counter claims. The court references with concerns the actions of Steven Lipsky, under the advice or direction of Mrs Alicia Rich to intentionally attach a garden hose to a gas vent – not to a water line – and then light and burn the gas from the end of the nozzle of the hose. The demonstration was not done for scientific study but to provide local and national news media a deceptive video, calculated to alarm the public into believing the water was burning. There is further evidence that Rich knew the regional EPA administration and provided or assisted in providing additional mislead information (including the garden hose video) to alarm the EPA. More over the emails in question which refer to this deceptive garden hose demonstration as a “strategy” appear to support that a “meeting of the minds” took place and that a reasonable trier of fact could believe, together with other evidence, That elements of a conspiracy to defame Range exist.

          Therefore pursuant to Texas practice and Remedies code 27 as a finding of fact and conclusion of law, the court observes that Range has presented sufficient clear and specific evidence to maintain a prima facia case with regard to the counter claim against plaintiffs and the third party action against Lisa Rich in that a reasonable trier of fact could believe that a conspiracy to defame Range existed between Lipsky and Mrs Rich.

      • NancyG says:

        Fracking had been around for over 40 years before this brouhaha over it began. It’s been around longer than Hope has. But suddenly it’s evil. I think part of it is the hijacked environmental groups, and part is jealousy. Property owners get money from a lease, then if they drill on your property and find gas the owner gets royalties, and in some cases free gas as well. Oooh, can’t have people making money or burning gas willy-nilly.

        • Gail Combs says:

          Actually Fracking has been around since just after the Civil War.

          Lt. Col. Edward A. L. Roberts’ original U.S. Patent (No. 59,936) was awarded in November 1866. In May 1990, Pennsylvania’s Otto Cupler Torpedo Company “shot” its last oil well using liquid nitroglycerin.

          Roberts filled the borehole with water. This provided Roberts his “fluid tamping” to concentrate concussion and more efficiently fracture surrounding oil strata.

          It was on March 17, 1949 that modern hydraulic -fracking was first used. So hydraulic -fracking has been around for 66 years.

          For the Civil War buffs:

          No one said fracking is evil. The EPA matched the isotopic fingerprint to the Barnett gas .. really not a hard concept:

          Gail, that original patent is a very interesting read. Thanks for the tip.

          Irony of the case: Edwards was a resident of NYC. Did he have to hide from his Occupy friends in SoHo?

        • Hope says:

          Modern horizontal high pressure fracking has been around since 2004, in heavy use since ’06.

          The fracking of the ’60s is the same as fracking today in the same way the phones of the ’60s are the same as today’s phones.

          “Fracking is 60+ years old” is a fossil fuel industry propaganda talking point.

          I’m sure Lee Fuller doesn’t go a week without repeating it.

          Hope “Modern horizontal high pressure fracking has been around since 2004, in heavy use since ’06.”

          Agreed. I was amazed at the technology, and expense, of wells drilled in the Bakken formation typically to incredible depths of 14,000 feet. Each well costs millions of dollars and requires rather a lot of water which often must be trucked in via tankers.

          I doubt the technology has changed so much as that the price of oil reached a point where the millions of dollars could be recouped.

        '“Five independent experts testified at the TRRC hearing on issues of geology, hydrogeology, micro-seismic analysis, hydraulic fracturing, petroleum engineering, geochemical gas fingerprinting, and groundwater analysis."

        This is a TRRC hearing, not the lawsuit and yes, Range Resources brought in witnesses.

        Do you know the results of the recent Sunset review on TRRC?
        Know how long TRRC gave Steve to prep for the hearing?
        Why didn't the EPA appear?
        How many neighbors now have the same problem?
        When was the TRRC's last report?
        How many more people have methane in their water wells as did in 1020 when this started?
        Where is Alisa Rich an Assist Proff now?
        Who first attached the garden hose to the wellheadspace and why?
        Who doctored the video – Range or Steve?

        In fact, it's likely you know little about this case .. save what you have been told by the con media .. an arm of the fossil fuel industry's propaganda machine. They thank you for your service.

        "The Lipskys’ experts actually agreed with the TRRC’s holding that Range’s hydraulic fracturing operations did not cause any alleged contamination and that Barnett Shale gas is not in the Lipskys’ water well.”

          Again, the lawsuit Range put the EPA through refusing to honor isotopic testing was a main reason they left … if would simply read the material, you may see they state that Steve had unhooked his water well, thus the danger was averted.

          WHY do you think the EPA would even START a lawsuit against Range if they had flimsy evidence?

        And did you see the reason the EPA dropped the case? It was too expensive for them to continue to sue Range to make them respect the Order

        That’s bullshit, Hope. This is what the EPA representative actually testified to:

        “The EPA official who signed the EPA order testified by deposition in connection with
        the TRRC proceeding that, when the order was signed, the EPA (1) did not know if
        Range actually caused the alleged contamination; (2) knew, but ignored, that gas had
        been present in water wells in the area for years and that shallow natural gas was present
        beneath the Lipskys’ water well; and (3) failed to evaluate the geology in the area.”

        • Hope says:

          Again, you are quoting Range:

          “ATTORNEYS FOR RANGE PRODUCTION COMPANY AND RANGE RESOURCES CORPORATION .. brief in Reply” That is Range’s Response

          Here is the EPA’s IG:
          “First, the EPA wanted to reduce the costs and legal risks associated with the
          ongoing court cases.”

          This was elaborated on in a press release that now eludes me ..; but ongoing court costs were a consideration.

          “In addition, an EPA official indicated that the EPA believed
          that the risk faced by the residents at the well where contamination had first been
          found was reduced because the residents had obtained water from a separate
          source and were no longer using the well.”

          This was an unfortunate call by EPA .. STeve spends his own money every month now for nearly 5 years shipping in his own water .. thus EPA said the problem was solved … yet look at his water well .. not really solved.

          “Finally, the EPA was able to obtain Range Resources’ agreement to participate in a national agency study of the relationship between hydraulic fractur
          ing and drinking water contamination.
          Range Resources also agreed to sample 20 water wells in Parker County every
          3 months for a year if the EPA withdrew the order. ” page 21
          Not sure if this occurred.

          The entire IG report is a good read:

          “Isotopic fingerprinting determines the ratio of different isotopes of a particular
          element in an investigated material. Methane produced in the ground varies in the
          relative concentrations of carbon 12 and carbon 13 isotopes. The ratio of these
          isotopes provides an indication of the source of the natural gas. The isotopic
          fingerprint analysis of methane in the water and gas samples Region 6 obtained
          on October 26, 2010, showed that the isotopic values from the residential water
          wells and the gas production well were thermogenic in nature and likely from the
          same source. In addition, the compositional analysis indicated that both gases
          contain significant amounts of heavier hydrocarbon components, and that the
          gases were identical within analytical error; the hydrocarbon portion of each gas
          contains the same components. ”

          IN fact – as I have said to you over and over – the methane was not there for the first 5 years they used the well.

          Peck’s Drilling testified to that under oath.

          It would have been impossible to have 85 ppm methane and not notice.

          The well pump only started having issues with seizure when the methane hit the well.

The demonstration was not done for scientific study but to provide local and national news media a deceptive video, calculated to alarm the public into believing the water was burning. There is further evidence that Rich knew the regional EPA administration and provided or assisted in providing additional mislead information (including the garden hose video) to alarm the EPA.

        A reasonable person is likely to say “a pox on both of your houses”.

        All human activites are a blend of risk and benefit.

        Advocates exist, in this case persons that are not directly involved in this particular case and unlikely to be personally involved in fracking ever, anywhere.

        Since the halflife of carbon isotopes is fairly brief compared to geologic time, I do not believe isotope analysis of methane serves any useful purpose.

        Half-life of C14 around 5700 years http://www.c14dating.com/int.html

        Methane dissolved in water will not burn. Methane must exist in air in a specific, narrow range of concentration in air to burn; requiring vastly more methane than will dissolve in water. However, the lightness of methane suggests it could separate from water and form a pocket of gaseous methane at a wellhead such that opening the spigot releases the methane first until the pocket is exhausted. This would require a bit of luck; the wellhead would have to just barely tap the aquifer just underneath a domed, gas-tight layer, which is pretty much exactly how you extract natural gas anyway.

          I took this film myself .. feel free to ask me about the case ….

        • Michael 2 says:

          Hope says “Well said ..have you seen that inaction?”

          Something similar. Ordinary water spigots in areas where, for whatever reason, the water has so much air trapped in it that it comes out milky white and gradually the “fizz” rises to the top. In the pipe the air can form a pocket such that turning on the faucet produces a rush of air followed by a “water hammer” that can break pipes and valves. People living in such areas (me, as a teenager) learn to turn the water on slowly to let out the trapped air.

        • Michael 2 says:

          Hope says “Would you think Nitrogen markers would be more reliable?”

          No, for a couple of reasons. The obvious reason is nitrogen is not an element of methane, the other reason is that carbon dating is reliable and well tested and self-calibrating, assuming that the C12/C13 ratio has remained relatively constant over the past 100,000 years or so that this method of dating is effective. Since C13 is regenerated by solar activity it is a reasonable and well tested assumption.

          However, it is a good test to reveal whether methane is leached cow poop. The cow eats grass which absorbs C12 and C13 in whatever is the current atmospheric ratio, which due to fossil fuel burning is itself changing. The ratio will eventually restore itself but for now, some of that grass has “old” carbon and some “new” carbon. Anyway, the cow poops, the methane leaches into the ground along with irrigation or rainwater, and eventually finds its way into your well.

          Ancient methane will have no C13 whatsoever; leaching from agriculture will show some C13.

          Aquifers tend to have ancient water, but not so old the methane age could not be determined (10,000 to 6,000 year old water in Ogalalla aquifer).

          Texas in particular deliberately recharges the aquifer. When I visited areas around San Antonio I noticed many settling ponds where rainwater is captured and instead of dumped in a river, seeps into the ground. This is both good and bad; good for aquifer but it will also hasten leaching into the aquifer.

          Nitrogen 15 is listed as stable, it doesn’t decay. Other isotopes DO decay quickly, in minutes. Thus the ratio of N14 to N15 do not directly denote elapsed time (as it does with C12/C13).

          gator69 “Yeah, because everything on Youtube is real.”

          True enough, but it is important to recognize that what is real is the video itself — it is a “real video” whose conformity to reality or truth is variable; ranging from nearly zero in the case of “Avatar” to highly true (or so I believe) in the case of wingsuit flying through a big natural arch in China.

          I am a careful judge; I observed a flame on a pipe which eventually seemed connected to a tank of some sort which *might* be a pressure tank as commonly used on a well or it might be something else.

          It is unfortunate and unnecessary to have made the video at night which to me seriously compromises its integrity. Dusk would achieve the goal of seeing the flame while at the same time carefully observing the surrounding. It also would be effective to show the flare-off of gas followed eventually by a flow of water, with nobody touching anything in the meantime AND some way to assure that nobody stopped the camera to make any kind of change (gas to water). Unfortunately I cannot think of a way to achieve all that integrity assuring. Even a little television showing the evening news could be stopped at the same time as the camera and restarted, or even picture-in-picture pasted in afterward, but it would help to make the video more persuasive.

          It would also help to have a “matter of fact” presentation that was not so obviously “anti-fracking” and linked to more anti-fracking videos.

          So, it is mildly interesting but it was difficult to sit through three and a half minutes of watching a flame at the end of a pipe. It wasn’t a garden hose at any rate, it’s a flaring pipe and obviously the resident expected some methane flaring ’cause he’s got the rig for it. Too bad he didn’t hook it up to his barbeque and get some use out of it.

          Besides, flaring natural gas destroys the climate so perhaps this wasn’t the wisest video for a climate warmist to recommend. 🙂

          The court, having reviewed the law and evidence as well as motions, briefs and arguments of the counsel of this case denies plaintiffs section 27 Anti-Slapp motion to dismiss Range’s counter claims. The court references with concerns the actions of Steven Lipsky, under the advice or direction of Mrs Alicia Rich to intentionally attach a garden hose to a gas vent – not to a water line – and then light and burn the gas from the end of the nozzle of the hose. The demonstration was not done for scientific study but to provide local and national news media a deceptive video, calculated to alarm the public into believing the water was burning. There is further evidence that Rich knew the regional EPA administration and provided or assisted in providing additional mislead information (including the garden hose video) to alarm the EPA. More over the emails in question which refer to this deceptive garden hose demonstration as a “strategy” appear to support that a “meeting of the minds” took place and that a reasonable trier of fact could believe, together with other evidence, That elements of a conspiracy to defame Range exist.

          Therefore pursuant to Texas practice and Remedies code 27 as a finding of fact and conclusion of law, the court observes that Range has presented sufficient clear and specific evidence to maintain a prima facia case with regard to the counter claim against plaintiffs and the third party action against Lisa Rich in that a reasonable trier of fact could believe that a conspiracy to defame Range existed between Lipsky and Mrs Rich.

          Context (unfortunately necessary since rather a lot has transpired between increments) “Michael 2 says:
          Hope says “Would you think Nitrogen markers would be more reliable?” No, for a couple of reasons ” Well that was the logic TRRC used to throw out EPA’s Isotopic testing. Did you look into Isotech yet?

          Yes, I looked at the Isotech webpage. It wasn’t very helpful; they do carbon dating and evaluate some other elements. Subsequent reading of the other lengthy article someone recommended showed that nitrogen was used to determine that the contamination came from the Shawn formation rather than whatever it was Range was drilling into. The article did not describe precisely how this was determined as nitrogen is not an element of methane. Nitrogen, as nitrate, is often found in groundwater leached from fertilizer or cow poop (and related substances). Presumably the deeper you go the less nitrate will exist since water leaches down very slowly.

          The article described that some water well drillers hit methane gas immediately so there’s a layer of methane near the surface, within 200 to 400 feet of the surface. This creates several possibilities that I cannot from here resolve; his well presumably pumped clear water (but with sulfates that he was filtering) for five years or so then ran dry and started emitting methane. A possibility exists of a natural “water trap” the same kind of thing you have on your sink or toilet to keep sewer gas out of your house. If you drain the trap, you’ll get sewer gas backing up into your house. That’s just a possibility but I am slow to leap to a conclusion.

          Knowing that he spends a thousand dollars a month to bring in water suggests he was pumping a lot of water, more than a semi-desert climate is equipped to provide. If, due to climate change, Texas has had less rain for the past decade then of course the water table is going to go down; to say nothing of all those new houses in the subdivision presumably ALL pumping water.

          “And what did you think of my video of the level of methane coming from this well?”

          I have seen a video made at night of someone burning a flammable gas at the end of what looked like a pipe with a fitting on the end. Several minutes into the video the camera pans down to show what might be the other end connected to what looks like a long cylinder on its side but, being night and dark, was not sufficiently illuminated for me to decide what I was seeing.

          I have no idea where it is, who it is, and so on. As a demonstration it wasn’t all that exciting. In a courtroom a witness would testify as to such things, and would have to testify even when such things are obvious in the video. But on YouTube, testimony does not exist, only the video, and it is poorly done.

          You can appeal but it is not a retrial of the case. The higher court looks over the evidence and determines if the lower court behaved in a correct manner. So the higher court is in essence trying the lower court and not the case.

          The fact Lipsky did not bother to show does not mean the case was not heard. The guy I sued did not bother to show either. He also appealed and the judge tossed the appeal right back in his face. That is how I learned the judge only looks at whether the lower court has followed procedure.

          From a law dictionary

          appeal

          1) v. to ask a higher court to reverse the decision of a trial court after final judgment or other legal ruling. After the lower court judgment is entered into the record, the losing party (appellant) must file a notice of appeal, request transcripts or other records of the trial court (or agree with the other party on an “agreed-upon statement”), file briefs with the appeals court citing legal reasons for over-turning the ruling, and show how those reasons (usually other appeal decisions called “precedents”) relate to the facts in the case. No new evidence is admitted on appeal, for it is strictly a legal argument.

        “Fossil fuel industry propaganda” is not the benchmark of an illiterate – but an accurate description. It is the doubt machine we are all about to hear so much about from “Merchants of Doubt” but has been well known.

          http://www.hngn.com/articles/20257/20131223/study-reveals-source-of-dark-money-in-climate-change-denial-studies.htm

          According to the story, Prof. Brulle enlisted IRS help tracking a correlation between big oil bogeymen such as the Koch Brothers withdrawing funding from climate studies, and significant increases in funding from other organizations such as the Donor’s Trust and Donor’s Capital Fund.

          Quite apart from the outrageous invasion of privacy, if the IRS did actually lend special assistance to the study, the mundane explanation, that lead authors of studies simply turned to other sources when some donors withdrew their support, was not good enough for Prof. Brulle.

          Instead, Brulle allegedly asserts the existence of a “dark money” conspiracy – a deliberate attempt to conceal the true sources of funding, by using a network of shadowy donor groups.

          “The climate change countermovement has had a real political and ecological impact on the failure of the world to act on the issue of global warming,” said Brulle. “Like a play on Broadway, the countermovement has stars in the spotlight — often prominent contrarian scientists or conservative politicians — but behind the stars is an organizational structure of directors, script writers and producers, in the form of conservative foundations.

          All I can say Anthony, is where is my dark money cheque? I’ve been sending you these scripts for ages, so far not a dime :-).

          ==============================================================

          Some other viewpoints on this claim.

          Dr. Lubos Motl: We received 1 billion dollars

          ‘Congratulations to all of us. A possible problem – one pointed out to me by the Galileo Movement via Twitter – is that I may find out that we just “may have received” the billion instead of the phrase “did receive” it.’ — ‘The funding of climate skepticism work is at most something of order $10 million a year and much if not most of the most influential work is being done on a budget that is smaller than that by additional orders of magnitude…This figure should be compared to $80 billion that have been paid to promote the climate hysteria pseudoscience, mostly in the recent decade or two…If Suzanne Goldenberg believes that the purpose of this funding is to change people’s minds, well, then I must say that the climate skeptics are more efficient by almost 4 orders of magnitude.’

          Marc Morano:

          This new study and the media reports surrounding it are pure bunk! The study counts all money raised by all conservative groups as somehow being for global warming issues! But the study itself admits this is not true.

          Excerpt: ‘It was not always possible to separate funds designated strictly for climate-change work from overall budgets, Brulle said. ‘Since the majority of the organizations are multiple focus organizations, not all of this income was devoted to climate change activities.’

          Tom Nelson:

          After UK Guardian’s Suzanne Goldenberg makes a large, fraudulent claim about climate change spending, it gets very quietly ‘fixed’ with the addition of weasel words ‘may’ and ‘up to’

          [Guardian story yesterday, from the Internet Archive] Conservative groups spend $1bn a year to fight action on climate change

          Conservative groups have spent $1bn a year on the effort to deny science and oppose action on climate change

          [Guardian story today] Conservative groups spend up to$1bn a year to fight action on climate change | Environment | theguardian.com

          Conservative groups mayhave spent up to $1bn a year on the effort to deny science and oppose action on climate change
          …This headline on this article was amended on 21 December 2013 to reflect that not all the $1bn referred to will have funded climate change work.

          Twitter / kaleekreider: @DanJWeiss @pourmecoffee Bob …

          @DanJWeiss @pourmecoffee Bob Bruelle says headline misleading. $1billion istotal avail not total spent on climate. I will forward email.

          Update: Robert Brulle pushes back on Suzanne’s fraud here.

          Why do you keep ranting about a case that has not been heard,? Why not look at court decisions that have been made public.

          The court, having reviewed the law and evidence as well as motions, briefs and arguments of the counsel of this case denies plaintiffs section 27 Anti-Slapp motion to dismiss Range’s counter claims. The court references with concerns the actions of Steven Lipsky, under the advice or direction of Mrs Alicia Rich to intentionally attach a garden hose to a gas vent – not to a water line – and then light and burn the gas from the end of the nozzle of the hose. The demonstration was not done for scientific study but to provide local and national news media a deceptive video, calculated to alarm the public into believing the water was burning. There is further evidence that Rich knew the regional EPA administration and provided or assisted in providing additional mislead information (including the garden hose video) to alarm the EPA. More over the emails in question which refer to this deceptive garden hose demonstration as a “strategy” appear to support that a “meeting of the minds” took place and that a reasonable trier of fact could believe, together with other evidence, That elements of a conspiracy to defame Range exist.

          Therefore pursuant to Texas practice and Remedies code 27 as a finding of fact and conclusion of law, the court observes that Range has presented sufficient clear and specific evidence to maintain a prima facia case with regard to the counter claim against plaintiffs and the third party action against Lisa Rich in that a reasonable trier of fact could believe that a conspiracy to defame Range existed between Lipsky and Mrs Rich.

  5. Then required that I agree that no one can download it from youtube:

    ” I expect you to write a permanently displayed and clear disclaimer that the interview is intended to be kept intact, and any other use is a violation of the agreement made between us.”

    Those two things are not equivalent, dumbass, and you know it. No-one ever required that you prevent any video from being downloaded from youtube, ever. Not in writing, nor verbally.

    The only person here who even pretends that that absurd excuse isn’t an utter sham is you, Hope. It’s why you’re posting so much nonsense: you’re trying to distract from the fact that you know your excuse is bullshit.

    Everyone here can see it’s bullshit, Hope. No-one is fooled.

    • Hope says:

      ‘ any other use is a violation of the agreement made between us.” ”

      Doesn’t say that any other use is a violation of the agreement between us?

      Positive??

      • Is it possible for you to simply do what I ask without applying your defective interpretations?

      • You are either mentally defective or lying. Whether or not some third party can download a video from youtube and wilfully violate the license has nothing to do with the terms of your agreement with Goddard. Do you realise that license agreements are not physical barriers? Why are you the only one pretending that it is otherwise? Do you not understand English? Is copyright law too difficult for you to grasp?

      “I want you to put a prominent disclaimer up that the video is intended to remain intact, unedited, and that any other usage is dishonest and not authorized.” Steve/Tony

      For “other use” anyone would have to download .. I guess I have to spell that out for you … so there ya go.

      • “Then required that I agree that no one can download it from youtube:”Me

        See, I read what you wrote, & you just made that part up out of thin air. No-one besides you ever said that it couldn’t be downloaded from youtube, only that editing & manipulation would constitute a violation on your part. If those sound like the same thing, you probably have something wrong in your brain & should talk to your doctor about Haldol.

        • Hope says:

          ““I want you to put a prominent disclaimer up that the video is intended to remain intact, unedited, and that any other usage is dishonest and not authorized.””

          Did you think the required disclaimer was only for me? That’s rich.

          “and any other use is a violation of the agreement made between us.”

          Would YOU agree to that?

        Region 6 concluded that gases from

        residential wells were likely from the sa
        me source. Moreover, samples taken from
        other wells in the area had a different is
        otopic profile. Region 6
        concluded that the
        gas produced by Range Resources’ gas well
        was most likely the source that was
        contaminating the aquifer and the dri
        nking water wells. Figure 2 shows plotted
        isotopic values of gases from the gas
        production well and the

        well along with gas samples fr

Region 6 concluded that the gas produced by Range Resources’ gas well was most likely the source that was contaminating the aquifer and the drinking water wells.

          conclude that the gas production well was the most likely contributor to the
          contamination of the aquifer that led to the ISE.”

          " A Texas appeals court on Monday halted its review of Range Resources Corp.'s defamation suit against two homeowners in a hydraulic fracturing dispute, saying a new trial court judge should get a chance to hear the homeowners' argument for dismissal after the initial judge was replaced.

          The Texas Second District Court of Appeals said it was required to give Judge Craig Towson — who took over for the judge who declined to dismiss the case, Judge Trey Loftin — an opportunity to re-examine his predecessor's decision."

          Do try and keep up, we are discussing THIS ruling. How stupid are you? 😆

          The court, having reviewed the law and evidence as well as motions, briefs and arguments of the counsel of this case denies plaintiffs section 27 Anti-Slapp motion to dismiss Range’s counter claims. The court references with concerns the actions of Steven Lipsky, under the advice or direction of Mrs Alicia Rich to intentionally attach a garden hose to a gas vent – not to a water line – and then light and burn the gas from the end of the nozzle of the hose. The demonstration was not done for scientific study but to provide local and national news media a deceptive video, calculated to alarm the public into believing the water was burning. There is further evidence that Rich knew the regional EPA administration and provided or assisted in providing additional mislead information (including the garden hose video) to alarm the EPA. More over the emails in question which refer to this deceptive garden hose demonstration as a “strategy” appear to support that a “meeting of the minds” took place and that a reasonable trier of fact could believe, together with other evidence, That elements of a conspiracy to defame Range exist.

          Therefore pursuant to Texas practice and Remedies code 27 as a finding of fact and conclusion of law, the court observes that Range has presented sufficient clear and specific evidence to maintain a prima facia case with regard to the counter claim against plaintiffs and the third party action against Lisa Rich in that a reasonable trier of fact could believe that a conspiracy to defame Range existed between Lipsky and Mrs Rich.

          He’s no longer a judge (you know this as you are posting his phone number here)

          .. and YES PLEASE DO CALL HIM .. HE WILL TELL YOU he ruled on the ANTI-SLAPP portion and then had to recuse himself .. as I have cited to you repeatedly .. do you not read?

          “Judge recuses himself from controversial case

          In a letter sent Tuesday to an administrative judge regarding the high profile Parker County case alleging well contamination by Range Resources, 43rd District Court Judge Trey Loftin agreed he should be recused from the case.

          After the national media raised questions less than a week prior to the May 29 primary election of whether Loftin’s campaign statements about the EPA improperly referenced the ongoing case, the attorney representing Steven and Shyla Lipsky filed a motion May 30 calling for the court to disqualify or recuse Loftin. Environmental consultant Alisa Rich’s attorney, George Carlton, also told the Democrat Tuesday they planned to soon file a similar motion for recusal.

          “On Feb. 16, Loftin issued an order denying the Lipskys’ motion to dismiss Range’s claims against the Lipskys.”

          Does that say “Found The Lipskys and Alisa Rich guilty”??

          Can you read that Gator?? Nah …

          Why do you keep avoiding this? Lipsky is a fraud. Why not defend Maddoff? 😆

          The court, having reviewed the law and evidence as well as motions, briefs and arguments of the counsel of this case denies plaintiffs section 27 Anti-Slapp motion to dismiss Range’s counter claims. The court references with concerns the actions of Steven Lipsky, under the advice or direction of Mrs Alicia Rich to intentionally attach a garden hose to a gas vent – not to a water line – and then light and burn the gas from the end of the nozzle of the hose. The demonstration was not done for scientific study but to provide local and national news media a deceptive video, calculated to alarm the public into believing the water was burning. There is further evidence that Rich knew the regional EPA administration and provided or assisted in providing additional mislead information (including the garden hose video) to alarm the EPA. More over the emails in question which refer to this deceptive garden hose demonstration as a “strategy” appear to support that a “meeting of the minds” took place and that a reasonable trier of fact could believe, together with other evidence, That elements of a conspiracy to defame Range exist.

          Therefore pursuant to Texas practice and Remedies code 27 as a finding of fact and conclusion of law, the court observes that Range has presented sufficient clear and specific evidence to maintain a prima facia case with regard to the counter claim against plaintiffs and the third party action against Lisa Rich in that a reasonable trier of fact could believe that a conspiracy to defame Range existed between Lipsky and Mrs Rich.

          My distrust has ZERO to do with the fossil fuel industry who I know, based on personal experience, are all crooks, it has to do with the repeated lies told by the USDA and the FDA.

          Government Accountability Project: Shielding the Giant – USDA’s “Don’t Look, Don’t Know” Policy

          History, HACCP and the Food Safety Con-job (Has five pages of documentation)

          It also has to do with Sancho Jones whose brother works for the EPA. He was told point blank to go after the Mom and Pop companies and leave the big guys alone. This is the exact same thing that the USDA and the FDA are doing to the independent farmers and meat packers. Consolidation of the entire market under less than ten companies.

          The goal is to run the small companies out of business so a cartel, who fixes prices, is the last man standing.

  13. Edmonton Al says:

    Hope…
    Do you have any of these traits?
    Qualities of a Sociopath:
    Someone who is described as a sociopath will have several traits that set them apart from those with no personality disorders. These traits include the following…
    • Lack of empathy – Inability to feel sympathy for others or to understand the emotional consequences of their actions.
    • Cold, calculating nature – The ability and willingness to use others around them to personal gain.
    • Shallow emotions – Lack of real emotion in response to events, limited capacity to feel love.
    • Narcissism – A personality disorder in itself in which the individual feels strong love and admiration toward themselves (often a defense mechanism against deep seated low esteem).
    • Grandiose self-image – They might see themselves as someone who is superior to others and sometimes even experiences delusions.
    • Charming – While the sociopath is unable to fully understand the emotions of others, they are capable but rather highly adept at mimicking them and might appear to be charming and normal at first.
    • High IQ – Often sociopaths will exhibit a high IQ which they can use to manipulate and plan.
    • Manipulative – Sociopaths use their superficial charm and high IQ to manipulate others to get their ends, and their lack of empathy allows them to do this with no sense of guilt or remorse.
    • Secretive – Has little need for others and is highly secretive in their actions meaning.
    • Sensitive to criticism – That said, like all narcissists, the sociopath will desire the approval of others and will be highly sensitive to criticisms. They often feel they deserve adulation and admiration of the world and might feel victimized.
    • Paranoid – Often their lack of understanding of emotion along with their incongruous self-view means that they feel a lack of trust and paranoia.
    • Lawfulness – Despite popular belief, a sociopath is not likely to be a problem to the law in later life, but rather will seek to find loopholes, to rise to a position of power, or to move to another area so that their behavior is tolerated.
    • Low tolerance for boredom – Sociopaths require constant stimulation and get quickly bored.
    • Impulsive behavior – A lack of regret and empathy means makes sociopaths more likely to make sudden rash decisions based on the current facts.
    • Compulsive lying – As part of their facade, and as a means to an end, sociopaths are compulsive liars and will rarely speak truthfully making them hard to pin down.
    Sociopaths of course vary in their symptoms and might act differently in different cases. However their main trait is presenting themselves as having the same empathy feelings and emotions as others when in fact they lack this emotional capacity. They are thus cold and manipulative and rarely see any problem with their actions.

Let’s say Steve doesn’t do interviews (really don’t believe you on that) it still doesn’t change the fact that NCDC and NOAA are adjusting temperatures. There really is no point to you complaining about fracking because Obama has indicated he is going to let it go, or at least be up to individual states.

          The court, having reviewed the law and evidence as well as motions, briefs and arguments of the counsel of this case denies plaintiffs section 27 Anti-Slapp motion to dismiss Range’s counter claims. The court references with concerns the actions of Steven Lipsky, under the advice or direction of Mrs Alicia Rich to intentionally attach a garden hose to a gas vent – not to a water line – and then light and burn the gas from the end of the nozzle of the hose. The demonstration was not done for scientific study but to provide local and national news media a deceptive video, calculated to alarm the public into believing the water was burning. There is further evidence that Rich knew the regional EPA administration and provided or assisted in providing additional mislead information (including the garden hose video) to alarm the EPA. More over the emails in question which refer to this deceptive garden hose demonstration as a “strategy” appear to support that a “meeting of the minds” took place and that a reasonable trier of fact could believe, together with other evidence, That elements of a conspiracy to defame Range exist.

          Therefore pursuant to Texas practice and Remedies code 27 as a finding of fact and conclusion of law, the court observes that Range has presented sufficient clear and specific evidence to maintain a prima facia case with regard to the counter claim against plaintiffs and the third party action against Lisa Rich in that a reasonable trier of fact could believe that a conspiracy to defame Range existed between Lipsky and Mrs Rich.

        • Hope says:

          CAN you read, Gator? Does it say ANYWHERE here that the CASE was heard and found FOR Range?

          If so CITE IT:

          “In re Lipsky: a husband and wife alleged that hydraulic fracturing near their property in Texas contaminated their water supply well. In July 2011, defendants Range Production Co. and Range Resources Corp. (Range) filed a counterclaim, alleging that plaintiffs and an environmental consultant conspired to harm Range’s reputation. Among other things, the company alleged that plaintiffs and the consultant conspired to persuade EPA to get involved in the matter by using false and misleading data. In January 2012, the trial court dismissed plaintiffs’ claims on jurisdictional grounds, holding that plaintiffs were required to appeal a March 2011 decision of the Railroad Commission of Texas that approved a
          report finding that Range had not caused the contamination in plaintiffs’ well. In June 2012, the trial court denied plaintiffs’ motion to dismiss Range’ s counterclaims as barred by the Texas Citizens’ Participation Act, an anti-SLAPP (Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation) statute. In August 2012, an appellate court dismissed plaintiffs’ appeal for lack of jurisdiction, citing an earlier ruling that it did not have jurisdiction over
          interlocutory appeals from trial court orders denying motions to dismiss under the anti
          SLAPP statute. The appellate court granted plaintiffs’ request that the appeal be converted to an original proceeding seeking a writ of mandamus. In the original proceeding for a writ of mandamus concerning whether the trial court abused its
          discretion in denying motions to dismiss Range’s counterclaims against the landowner plaintiffs and an environmental consultant (relators), the appellate court determined that relators had met their initial burden of establishing that Range’s counterclaims were based on relators’ exercise of their right to free speech and right to petition. The court of appeals further ruled that the trial court did not clearly abuse its discretion in
          determining that Range had presented clear and specific evidence to establish a prima facie case for its defamation and business disparagement claims against relator Steven Lipsky, but that it had abused its discretion in determining that prima facie cases for such claims had been made against the other relators. The court also ruled that the trial court abused its discretion in denying the motions to dismiss the civil conspiracy
          and “aiding and abetting” counterclaims against all relators. Finding that relators had no adequate remedy on appeal, the court conditionally granted writs of mandamus and ordered the trial court to dismiss the civil conspiracy and aiding and abetting claims against Steven Lipsky and all claims against the other relators”

          Hope says “you will not read it .. you CAN’T cite ANY finding that Range’s case itself was even heard … but you will post some inane drivel about Steve’s guilt or some other 4th grade ignorance”

          Poor argumentation skills for starters. Anyway, I looked at it. The summary is difficult for me to follow; I can usually read legal briefs but since this one has a counterclaim, it is not clear at any moment who exactly is the “plaintiff”, who has been judged for and against; it appears to be in appeal and a trial seems to have been held already to which this brief refers.

          No one here is involved in this litigation so far as I know; our participation is irrelevant. Consequently we are merely the “jury of the public” invited to view the evidence (a YouTube video) and arrive at our own conclusions. I conclude that the video is misleading and probably deliberately so; it does not accurately convey important information. It could have been made anywhere on earth and at any time since the technology came into existence to make it. The “5 W’s” are weak or not present, who what when where and why. It is even weak on the “what”.

          Had I made the video intending to persuade others of my kind (probably won’t work on your kind but maybe BOTH kinds could be woven into one video), I would start out by declaring my identity, then where the video is being made. Ideally a high elevation view, a drone helicopter would be perfect for it; make a slow 360 degree view so you can match the location on Google Earth, then without break bring the view down to ground level and proceed with the demonstration. You’ve established where and who. Next is “what”. You must establish clearly that it is a water well, then establish clearly that it is emitting methane, but once you have flared the methane, that it does emit water and that’s what it is supposed to do.

          Establishing the WHEN could be achieved by displaying a nationally recognized newspaper.

          Of course, the younger generation has been raised on “Avatar” and knows that every single pixel of the video might exist solely in the electronic mind of a computer with zero correlation to reality whatsoever; but you have to make the claim then in court a living witness testifies that the claim is real and the entire credibility of the case then rests solely upon that witness and any physical evidence actually present at trial. If that witness is tainted by advocacy there’s no telling what will happen.

          Declaring “what is wanted” should exist somewhere in the video. “I want…” whatever is wanted.

          Be honest. If your desire is just for clean water you may get some sympathy. If you want to shut down all drilling everywhere on Earth and we all go back to hunting and gathering (gleaned from your founder’s website) then you won’t get much sympathy. My ancestors abandoned hunting and gathering ten thousand years ago (*) and so did yours.

          * more or less. SOME hunting and gathering still takes place; I gather blackberries when I visit the pacific northwest and hunting is a popular activity in much of the United States

          Be clear about any connection to advocacy groups. It will be discovered and if not declared will make it seem to be a conspiracy (duh).

          Now let’s talk about those poor argumentation skills.

          Or maybe not. Some other time 😉

          P.S. Demonstrating that the methane came from Range’s drilling could be extremely difficult. Naturally existing methane is common and capturing it is the whole point of drilling.

        • Michael 2 says:

          I sense that the left chose their champion poorly. He’s a “one percenter” with a 15,000 square foot mansion.

          http://www.dallasobserver.com/2012-04-26/news/fire-in-the-hole/full/

          “His company, Lipsky and Associates, was processing more than $1 billion a year in electronic mortgage payments for J.P. Morgan Chase … doing well enough to allow him to purchase a house and some seven and a half acres in the gated enclave Silverado-on-the-Brazos. … replatting and joining portions of the old property into nearly 15 acres of riverfront real estate.”

          “Then Lipsky began construction of his dream home. He purportedly spent millions over the course of several years in construction and property improvements, even installing a state-of-the-art water filtration system to disperse the rotten-egg scent of sulfur typical for this portion of the aquifer.”

          I wish I had his problems (and everything else he’s got!). Thanks to the detailed news report and Spokeo you can see it for yourself on Google Earth at N 32 33.759′ W 97 47.514′

          Nice digs!

          Now to see if I can find where Range was drilling.

          “On December 7, 2010, EPA regional administrator Al Armendariz sent an email to anti-fracking blogger Sharon Wilson (known as Texas Sharon), Tom ‘Smitty’ Smith of Public Citizen and others: ‘We’re about to make a lot of news.’ ”

          Why would the EPA be in private communication with anti-fracking bloggers? That’s a pretty serious revelation by itself.

          “The EPA ordered the company to survey all private water wells within a 3,000-foot radius of its gas wells”

          So it’s nearby with 3,000 feet and there it is (most likely): N 32 33.469′ W 97 47.257′ 2190 feet southeast from the house. It is odd to see the road (Lake Country Drive) bounded on both sides by singlewide trailers next to a huge 15,000 square foot mansion with boat docks and swimming pool. If you are going to flaunt wealth, do it right next do a few dozen poor families in trailers.

          Holy smokes. I counted five wells nearby. Google Street view shows an active drilling rig; pretty cool actually, at N 32 31.934′ W 97 47.471′ Highway 51, Weatherford Highway.

          I see about fourteen more wells just south of Weatherford Highway.

          OMG. Zoom out a bit, look eastward to Interstate 20, in a big empty triangle north of Cresson to Hudson Oaks and west to the Brazos River. Hundreds of well sites. Keep going east past Pelican Bay, well sites are thicker than mosquitos at the Everglades. All the way to Denton they continue.

          My conclusion: It is obvious this portion of Texas is rich in natural gas, a thing people should probably understand when poking their own holes in the ground. The natural gas hardly makes a distinction between Lipsky’s hole and Range’s hole, other than Range went a lot deeper and pushed water IN while Lipsky went shallow and pulled water OUT creating an underground “river” that also transports natural gas (and cow poop and everything else in the groundwater).

          The good news is that it will soon “play out” and the problem goes away, leaving that portion of Texas “gas free” and thus better off than ever before, thank you very much.

          ………….

          ROTFLMAO!

          RIIIiiiight, J.P. Morgan Chase, a combo of the Rockefellers and the Morgans. Rockefeller = Standard Oil and the guys funding CRU of Climategate fame, Greenpeace and all the rest.

          J.P. Morgan is the dude who bought up the important MSM back in 1915 and has owned the MSM ever since. J.P. Morgan is also the company who was paying Ex-Prime Minister Tony Blair when he was in the Middle East talking to Gadhafi before the decision was made to kill him. Blair was the one who got Gadhafi’s sone into the London School of economics.

          It remains unclear exactly why or how the Gadhafi regime went from “a model” and an “important ally” to the next target for regime change in a period of just a few years. But after claims of “genocide” as the justification for NATO intervention were disputed by experts, several other theories have been floated.

          Oil, of course, has been mentioned frequently — Libya is Africa‘s largest oil producer. But one possible reason in particular for Gadhafi’s fall from grace has gained significant traction among analysts and segments of the non-Western media: central banking and the global monetary system.

          According to more than a few observers, Gadhafi’s plan to quit selling Libyan oil in U.S. dollars — demanding payment instead in gold-backed “dinars” (a single African currency made from gold) — was the real cause. The regime, sitting on massive amounts of gold, estimated at close to 150 tons, was also pushing other African and Middle Eastern governments to follow suit.

          And it literally had the potential to bring down the dollar and the world monetary system by extension, according to analysts. French President Nicolas Sarkozy reportedly went so far as to call Libya a “threat” to the financial security of the world. The “Insiders” were apparently panicking over Gadhafi’s plan.….

        yes, his house was worth $4 MILLION before the water source was ruined. Now it is worth – hard to day – he’s not sure Texas will even allow him to sell it when there is no water sourse.

        Steve has been paying nearly $1K a month for 4.5 years to bring in his own water and has a $3 million lawsuit hanging over his head form the same company EPA isotopic testing says contaminated his water well….

        AND CON media/FF industry has spread this story that the case has been heard and found for Range .. entirely untrue.

        He’s a dad w/ 3 small kids, a family man and yes, a Christian.

        And we can look down this page and see the veracity of the propaganda spread about him.

          I do not believe this is a David and Goliath story. Perhaps if you were to reveal his past and present monthly income I might feel just a tiny bit sorry that he is spending more on water than I spend on my mortgage. Texas is almost a desert. I wonder if he was simply pumping too much water and sucked the well dry creating an air pocket (methane pocket to be more precise). A pump wouldn’t even notice 85 parts per MILLION. What happens is the pump must be immersed to cool itself. When it starts sucking air it gets hot. It’s a wonder the well didn’t explode from a hot motor immersed in methane gas. They are supposed to have safety shutoff switches just for that possibility (running hot or dry, either or both).

Loftin rejected that argument in February and the case was appealed. ”

After they turned hard left and started purifying the comments I lost interest and so did a great many other people.

        Same with Scientific American. They are so “pure” there’s hardly any reason to go there.

  18. Gail Combs says:

    So Hope says the Judge who published the court findings that Lipsky was engaging in fraud “… goes to the same church as Lipsky?”

    Lipsky must have pulled some really obvious fraud to get that type of ruling from a fellow church member. Of course the Judge would also have been well aware of the flaming water problem indigenous to the area.

    Nice to know there are a few honest people still on the bench.

      Loftin had to recuse himself after the ruling.

          The lies the fossil fuel industry is telling and the effect those lies have on the national conversation, as you can see, is very important ..

          from “methane was always in the water” to “there has never been one case of water contamination from the fracking boom” to “nat gas is a bridge fuel” the FF industry’s propaganda is powerful and profoundly polluting to our decision making process .. democracy .. which relies on an alert and knowledgeable citizenry … not voters ginned up on industry lies.

      “Of course the Judge would also have been well aware of the flaming water problem indigenous to the area.”

      “Methane was always in the water” is a fossil fuel industry talking point.

      Pecks drilling stated under oath the water well had no methane when drilled.

      For the first 5 years the well was used it showed no methane.

      When the methane hit the well, 5 year after use started, the well pump went out – siezing due to the huge amount of gas that hit it.

      Do you really believe you could live for 5 years w/ this level of methane and not notice??

        • gator69 says:

          prima facie is used in modern legal English (including both Civil Law and Criminal Law) to signify that upon initial examination, sufficient corroborating evidence appears to exist to support a case. In common law jurisdictions, prima facie denotes evidence that, unless rebutted, would be sufficient to prove a particular proposition or fact.

          The court, having reviewed the law and evidence as well as motions, briefs and arguments of the counsel of this case denies plaintiffs section 27 Anti-Slapp motion to dismiss Range’s counter claims. The court references with concerns the actions of Steven Lipsky, under the advice or direction of Mrs Alicia Rich to intentionally attach a garden hose to a gas vent – not to a water line – and then light and burn the gas from the end of the nozzle of the hose. The demonstration was not done for scientific study but to provide local and national news media a deceptive video, calculated to alarm the public into believing the water was burning. There is further evidence that Rich knew the regional EPA administration and provided or assisted in providing additional mislead information (including the garden hose video) to alarm the EPA. More over the emails in question which refer to this deceptive garden hose demonstration as a “strategy” appear to support that a “meeting of the minds” took place and that a reasonable trier of fact could believe, together with other evidence, That elements of a conspiracy to defame Range exist.

          Therefore pursuant to Texas practice and Remedies code 27 as a finding of fact and conclusion of law, the court observes that Range has presented sufficient clear and specific evidence to maintain a prima facia case with regard to the counter claim against plaintiffs and the third party action against Lisa Rich in that a reasonable trier of fact could believe that a conspiracy to defame Range existed between Lipsky and Mrs Rich.

More over the emails in question which refer to this deceptive garden hose demonstration as a “strategy” appear to support that a “meeting of the minds” took place and that a reasonable trier of fact could believe, together with other evidence, That elements of a conspiracy to defame Range exist.

          Therefore pursuant to Texas practice and Remedies code 27 as a finding of fact and conclusion of law, the court observes that Range has presented sufficient clear and specific evidence to maintain a prima facia case with regard to the counter claim against plaintiffs and the third party action against Lisa Rich in that a reasonable trier of fact could believe that a conspiracy to defame Range existed between Lipsky and Mrs Rich.

    Hope,

    so by your answer, you don’t believe that NOAA and NCDC adjust the raw temperatures?

    NOAA says right here on it’s website that it adjusts temperatures:

    http://www.noaa.gov/features/02_monitoring/weather_stations.html

    I have another question for you. Do you think that global warming skeptics receive more money from corporations than alarmists receive from corporations?

    • Hope says:

      I don;t believe they adjust them in the nefarious ways they are accused of by the industry’s propaganda machine .. go ahead and cite a case…

      lets talk about it.

      I believe very few climate sconce deniers are funded by big oil.

      Have you read Heartland’s budget to see a few?

      I also know very few activists are funded by corps. Are you pointing to the Park Foundation myth?

      • Gail Combs says:

        Real simple one.

        The switch from LIG to the new electronic measurement system.

        Zeke says the new electronic measurement system tends to read about 0.5 C colder than LiG thermometers at the same location. This is based on fiddling with computers and not actually doing any side by side comparisons.

        However a German meteorologist did do the side by side comparisons. He ran an 8.5 year side-by-side test. His results showed that on average the new electronic measurement system produced warmer temperature readings — a whopping 0.93°C warmer! The question is: Is this detectable in Germany’s temperature dataset? Do we see a temperature jump during the time the new “electronic measurement system was put into operation (1985 – 2000)? The answer? YES absolutely!

        So that gives a bias of 1.4C in the wrong direction from just that one adjustment alone.

        No wonder gardeners are noticing their tomatoes won’t set fruit!

          Kinda hard to fool the plants and animals. They don’t believe government-funded studies like so many of the sheeple.

          (I blame the schools for teaching kids to never question experts. I was one of those smart-ass kids correcting teacher’s work on the blackboard from the back of the class)

          Tomatoes and peppers don’t do well for me anymore unless I use black plastic mulch. Much like the late 70s. Curious isn’t it?

          Also interesting that none of the so-called climate experts have explained the record great lakes ice during some of the warmest winters evah *!!!

          *Based upon liberally adjusted temperatures with a dose of snake oil.

          You just can’t fool nature.

          Reminds me of an old joke:

          A farmer got pulled over by a state trooper for speeding, and the trooper started to lecture the farmer about his speed, and in general began to throw his weight around to try to make the farmer uncomfortable.

          Finally, the trooper got around to writing out the ticket, and as he was doing that he kept swatting at some flies that were buzzing around his head. The farmer said, “Having some problems with circle flies there, are ya?” The trooper stopped writing the ticket and said, “Well yeah, if that’s what they are called — I never heard of circle flies.”

          So the farmer says, “Well, circle flies are common on farms. See, they’re called circle flies because they’re almost always found circling around the back end of a horse.”

          The trooper says, “Oh,” and goes back to writing the ticket. Then after a minute he stops and says, “Hey…wait a minute, are you trying to call me a horse’s rear end?” The farmer says, “Oh no, officer. I have too much respect for law enforcement to even think about calling you such a name.”

          The trooper says, “Well, that’s a good thing,” and goes back to writing the ticket. After a long pause, the farmer says, “Hard to fool them flies though.”

          Reality rules.

          shazaam,
          White clover is sensitive to high temperatures. It is a cool season plant. For the past two summers my white clover has been green and blooming all summer long here in mid North Carolina. Normally it dries up and goes crispy critter in June. Heck we never ran the A/C the entire summer for the last two summers.

          White clover grows between 50 and 85 degrees., Optimal growth at 68 to 71 F

        • Hope says:

          Could you cite this information? Thanks.

        • Gail Combs says:

          Here is one:
          White clover (Trifolium repens)
          ….Growth is depressed at high temperatures (>35°C), due to moisture stress, which is induced by the excessive transpiration demand and the inability of the soil to supply adequate water even under irrigation.
          (35°C = 95°F) I do not irrigate since my land is pasture cross fenced for intense grazing. I am in the piedmont of NC we normally see temperatures hit 90°F in June and range into the high nineties and low 100s all summer.

          Here is another on tomatoes.
          It’s Cold, Just Ask The Tomatoes

          Hey Gail! I had to give up on my tomatoes two tears ago. I used to buy my plants in Florida in April when visiting my mother for her birthday, and two cherry tomato plants would produce more tomatoes than I could eat, all Summer. In fact, my plants would still produce after my mother’s plants had stopped. But then came two cool Summers in a row and I got zip. Thank God for supermarket produce.

    • gator69 says:

      This report examines in detail the mechanisms and methods of a far-left environmental machine that has been erected around a small group of powerful and active millionaires and billionaires who exert tremendous sway over a colossal effort. Although startling in its findings, the report covers only a small fraction of the amount of money that is being secreted and moved around. It would be virtually impossible to examine this system completely given the enormity of this carefully coordinated effort and the lack of transparency surrounding it.

      The failure to openly acknowledge this force and the silence of the media with whom they coordinate further emphasize the fact that until today, the Billionaire’s Club operated in relative obscurity hidden under the guise of “philanthropy.” The scheme to keep their efforts hidden and far removed from the political stage is deliberate, meticulous, and intended to mislead the public. While it is uncertain why they operate in the shadows and what they are hiding, what is clear is that these individuals and foundations go to tremendous lengths to avoid public association with the far-left environmental movement they so generously fund.

      Through these arrangements, the Billionaire’s Club gains access to a close knit network of likeminded funders, environmental activists, and government bureaucrats who specialize in manufacturing phony “grassroots” movements and in promoting bogus propaganda disguised as science and news to spread an anti-fossil energy message to the unknowing public. Not only is the system incredibly sophisticated, but the Club’s attorneys and accountants have mastered the loopholes and gray areas in the tax code, which enable them to obtain a full tax benefit, even when the recipient of the grant is not recognized as a public charity, and even if the money indirectly and impermissibly funds political activities.

The court references with concerns the actions of Steven Lipsky, under the advice or direction of Mrs Alicia Rich to intentionally attach a garden hose to a gas vent – not to a water line – and then light and burn the gas from the end of the nozzle of the hose. The demonstration was not done for scientific study but to provide local and national news media a deceptive video, calculated to alarm the public into believing the water was burning. There is further evidence that Rich knew the regional EPA administration and provided or assisted in providing additional mislead information (including the garden hose video) to alarm the EPA. More over the emails in question which refer to this deceptive garden hose demonstration as a “strategy” appear to support that a “meeting of the minds” took place and that a reasonable trier of fact could believe, together with other evidence, That elements of a conspiracy to defame Range exist.

          There is no “why” as both of them are almost certainly in their rooms as they comment.

          “I’m trying to read about the substance of the thread about Steve’s interviews and his understandable demand that the contents of the interview not be selectively edited.”

          The entire substance takes less than a paragraph and can be seen at the top. No further mention of that topic is to be found.

          But you have posted this same thing, whether factual or not, about one hundred times.”

          I’m glad someone is keeping count. I suspect you don’t get it, or are a sock-puppet. Hope wants juicy bits for her next video production. Gator gives her the exact same bit over and over; she is free to use the first or the 100th. It is a very clever strategy by Gator. I’ve never seen a fish stay on the hook this long.

          Spren complains “The two of you have hijacked this entire thread.” It seems he does not understand that they ARE the whole thread. But I must admit, I had not realized previously that Gator was an englishman. Then Spren suggests they ‘get a room’. While I put nothing past his opponent, (except possibly adequate critical thinking skills) I seriously doubt that Gator would have any interest in her at all.

          Bottom line is, while she could have offered to put the recording of the unedited live interview under Tony’s copyright with no-derivatives, and thereby satisfy Tony’s demand, she chose to dance around.

    It was major grants from BP and Shell that established CRU. A climategate e-mail from Jones talked about him soliciticing monies from them. Cannot forget the 29 BILLION from the govt who is firmly entrenched in AGW. Over 2000 environmental groups received millions. WWF and Greenpeace both have oil executives sitting in positions of authority. If what they say is true about the propaganda machine, it would be like a Pepsi exec sitting on Coke’s board. Not likely.

    Then there is the millions of Soros money funding the likes of Thinkprogess.

    A lot of people here started out as an alarmist but then tried to find proof. One of the first things I came across was Gore’s statement of exaggerating and Schnider talking about scary scenarios. That was the red flag that it was not science but politics. It was downhill from there, lies, misleading statements and the one that confirmed it all was the way skeptics were treated by censorship, banning, and ad homs. They are their own worst enemy.

    • gator69 says:

      I had the advantage of a decades worth of geologic training and then climatology classes before the Great Global Warming Swindle came along. I got interested in geology during the Ice Age Scare, and graduated from a major university shortly before Hansen et al turned off the A/C in the Capitol and cried wolf.

      My very first reaction to AGW was ‘BS’. But I read the papers I could find and made my own observations, it wasn’t until I found the data tampering that I figured out from where all this ‘heat’ was coming. Once I saw the fraudulent data fudging, I went from 99% sure it was BS, to 100% sure.

      Most people have no idea that the IPCC was never set up to investigate climate change.

      “ … to assess on a comprehensive, objective, open and transparent basis the scientific, technical and socio-economic information relevant to understanding the scientific basis of risk of human-induced climate change, its potential impacts and options for adaptation and mitigation. IPCC reports should be neutral with respect to policy.“

      In other words, instead of the IPCC being an ‘investigator’, it was from the beginning a ‘prosecutor’.

      That is why they never bothered to refute natural variability.

      • gofer says:

        Actually it was Gore that was the first flag. Being from my State of TN, he could not even win his own state. People know what a crook and liar he is. If he was involved, then it was most likely BS.

      • Gail Combs says:

        USA UN Framework Convention on Climate Change ratified 21/03/94 (signed 12/06/92)

        “Climate change” means a change of climate which is attributed directly or indirectly to human activity that alters the composition of the global atmosphere and which is in addition to natural climate variability observed over comparable time periods.

        That’s from the official UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (http://unfccc.int/essential_background/convention/background/items/2536.php). The term specifically excludes all natural climate change, and even excludes any caused by humans due to, for example, land clearance or city building, considering only atmospheric changes.

        So the public has been hoodwinked thoroughly. Of course that’s the idea. The Globalists can make all sorts of horrendous claims about “climate change” (assuming their definition), which ordinary people assume to apply, not “climate change”, but to a change of climate (meaning any change, whatever the cause or mechanism). So if they say, “climate change” is 1000 times more than it was 100 years ago, that may be true, but it might still be that the change of climate is negligible.

        The IPCC mandate is similar:

        The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) was established by the United Nations Environmental Programme (UNEP) and the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) in 1988 to assess the scientific, technical and socio-economic information relevant for the understanding of human induced climate change, its potential impacts and options for mitigation and adaptation.
        http://www.ipcc-wg2.gov/

        So The IPCC never was about understanding the climate. It was really about ‘options for mitigation and adaptation. ‘ and this is the change wanted by the Globalists running the UN, the World Bank, and the WTO.

        The IPCC’s ROLE

        The role of the IPCC is to assess on a comprehensive, objective, open and transparent basis the scientific, technical and socio-economic information relevant to understanding the scientific basis of risk of human-induced climate change, its potential impacts and options for adaptation and mitigation. IPCC reports should be neutral with respect to policy, although they may need to deal objectively with scientific, technical and socio-economic factors relevant to the application of particular policies.
        http://www.ipcc.ch/pdf/ipcc-principles/ipcc-principles.pdf

        So there it is again. ONLY “human-induced climate change” is of interest and that is why you see very little work done on natural climate change.

        Worse it is the custom and practice of the IPCC for all of its Reports to be amended to agree with the political summaries. The facts are as follows.

        The Summary for Policymakers (SPM) is agreed “line by line” by politicians and/or representatives of politicians, and it is then published. After that the so-called ‘scientific’ Reports are amended to agree with the SPM. This became IPCC custom and practice of the IPCC when prior to its Second Report the then IPCC Chairman, John Houghton, decreed,

        “We can rely on the Authors to ensure the Report agrees with the Summary.”

        This was done and has been the normal IPCC procedure since then.

          Did Judge Loftin lie when he signed this court document?

          The court, having reviewed the law and evidence as well as motions, briefs and arguments of the counsel of this case denies plaintiffs section 27 Anti-Slapp motion to dismiss Range’s counter claims. The court references with concerns the actions of Steven Lipsky, under the advice or direction of Mrs Alicia Rich to intentionally attach a garden hose to a gas vent – not to a water line – and then light and burn the gas from the end of the nozzle of the hose. The demonstration was not done for scientific study but to provide local and national news media a deceptive video, calculated to alarm the public into believing the water was burning. There is further evidence that Rich knew the regional EPA administration and provided or assisted in providing additional mislead information (including the garden hose video) to alarm the EPA. More over the emails in question which refer to this deceptive garden hose demonstration as a “strategy” appear to support that a “meeting of the minds” took place and that a reasonable trier of fact could believe, together with other evidence, That elements of a conspiracy to defame Range exist.

          Therefore pursuant to Texas practice and Remedies code 27 as a finding of fact and conclusion of law, the court observes that Range has presented sufficient clear and specific evidence to maintain a prima facia case with regard to the counter claim against plaintiffs and the third party action against Lisa Rich in that a reasonable trier of fact could believe that a conspiracy to defame Range existed between Lipsky and Mrs Rich.

          Hope “dialectal think tanks and groups?”

          It is a “dog whistle”; a metaphor for a word or phrase that only persons trained to hear it recognize (dogs able to hear the ultrasonic pitch of a dog whistle but people usually cannot hear it).

          “Dialectal” is probably a misspelling of Dialectical and used pretty much only in Marxist discussion, usually “dialectical materialism” which by itself seems to mean absolutely nothing until a Marxist gives it meaning. To me it is still incomprehensible but it means something to you; ergo, you are a Marxist, trained in what it means, mistaking that it is a common word that will be understood by your readers. It is common for you but uncommon for regulars here (or so I suppose).

          concerned with or acting through opposing forces.
          “a dialectical opposition between social convention and individual libertarianism”

          But to a Marxist it doesn’t mean that, either.

          Ponder this and laugh or cry or scratch your head in complete bafflement:

          “It is an eternal cycle in which matter moves, a cycle that certainly only completes its orbit in periods of time for which our terrestrial year is no adequate measure, a cycle in which the time of highest development, the time of organic life and still more that of the life of being conscious of nature and of themselves, is just as narrowly restricted as the space in which life and self-consciousness come into operation. A cycle in which every finite mode of existence of matter, whether it be sun or nebular vapour, single animal or genus of animals, chemical combination or dissociation, is equally transient, and wherein nothing is eternal but eternally changing, eternally moving matter and the laws according to which it moves and changes.”

          Fredrick Engels
          Dialectics of Nature

          https://www.marxists.org/glossary/terms/d/i.htm

          Consider (same source): “An example of dialectical reasoning can be seen in Lenin’s slogan: “All Power to the Soviets” spoken when the Soviets were against the Bolsheviks.”

          I saw nothing but a typical Marxist slogan.

          Where are they NOW? The Left coast, mostly. 😉

        Got the second part right!

        There is no “the science”. John Cook and his volunteers examined the abstracts of about 12,000 papers of “science” some of which was more solid than others.

        An impressive number of scientific papers have turned out not to be science whatsoever:

    I know it is pointless, because Hope denies the reality that Lipskly was definitely found to have attempted to defraud the public and the EPA, and this court ruling has never been overturned. Of course Hope’s response will be that a case that has never been heard somehow exonerates Lipsky.

          The court, having reviewed the law and evidence as well as motions, briefs and arguments of the counsel of this case denies plaintiffs section 27 Anti-Slapp motion to dismiss Range’s counter claims. The court references with concerns the actions of Steven Lipsky, under the advice or direction of Mrs Alicia Rich to intentionally attach a garden hose to a gas vent – not to a water line – and then light and burn the gas from the end of the nozzle of the hose. The demonstration was not done for scientific study but to provide local and national news media a deceptive video, calculated to alarm the public into believing the water was burning. There is further evidence that Rich knew the regional EPA administration and provided or assisted in providing additional mislead information (including the garden hose video) to alarm the EPA. More over the emails in question which refer to this deceptive garden hose demonstration as a “strategy” appear to support that a “meeting of the minds” took place and that a reasonable trier of fact could believe, together with other evidence, That elements of a conspiracy to defame Range exist.

          Therefore pursuant to Texas practice and Remedies code 27 as a finding of fact and conclusion of law, the court observes that Range has presented sufficient clear and specific evidence to maintain a prima facia case with regard to the counter claim against plaintiffs and the third party action against Lisa Rich in that a reasonable trier of fact could believe that a conspiracy to defame Range existed between Lipsky and Mrs Rich.

          Did Judge Loftin lie when he signed this court document?

          The court, having reviewed the law and evidence as well as motions, briefs and arguments of the counsel of this case denies plaintiffs section 27 Anti-Slapp motion to dismiss Range’s counter claims. The court references with concerns the actions of Steven Lipsky, under the advice or direction of Mrs Alicia Rich to intentionally attach a garden hose to a gas vent – not to a water line – and then light and burn the gas from the end of the nozzle of the hose. The demonstration was not done for scientific study but to provide local and national news media a deceptive video, calculated to alarm the public into believing the water was burning. There is further evidence that Rich knew the regional EPA administration and provided or assisted in providing additional mislead information (including the garden hose video) to alarm the EPA. More over the emails in question which refer to this deceptive garden hose demonstration as a “strategy” appear to support that a “meeting of the minds” took place and that a reasonable trier of fact could believe, together with other evidence, That elements of a conspiracy to defame Range exist.

          Therefore pursuant to Texas practice and Remedies code 27 as a finding of fact and conclusion of law, the court observes that Range has presented sufficient clear and specific evidence to maintain a prima facia case with regard to the counter claim against plaintiffs and the third party action against Lisa Rich in that a reasonable trier of fact could believe that a conspiracy to defame Range existed between Lipsky and Mrs Rich.

          no manner of fact can help you ..

          I would think your chums here can at least see how inane you are here.

          Can’t parse data at all:

          THE CASE HAS NEVER BEEN HEARD
          “After a lower court allowed Range’s lawsuit to proceed, the Second District Court of Appeals in Fort Worth ordered that court to set aside all charges except the defamation and disparagement allegations against Steve Lipsky. The court said Range provided no clear evidence that the others had conspired with him. Now, the Texas Supreme Court will weigh in, with oral arguments scheduled for Dec. 4. First Amendment lawyers, who say lower courts have inconsistently applied the law, will watch closely.”

    Hope why ever would you expect gentle treatment when you come on to this blog to dump you disinformation? Disinformation that is aimed at KILLING, yes KILLING, thousands if not millions of people?
    One Quarter of the Brits live in Fuel Poverty. The recent cold snap KILLED 28,800 people died in the fortnight ending January 23. Thousands of people, mainly the old and the young die each year because of the CAGW anti-energy idiocy in the UK alone.

    The Biofuel Laws passed here in the USA led to nearly 200,000 deaths (est) in 2010. In a study published in Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons, Indur Goklany calculated the additional mortality burden of biofuels policies and found that nearly 200,000 people died in 2010.

    Richard Courtney, one of my favorite socialists, predicted this back in 2006. link

    So who profits? ADM profits soar 550 percent as ethanol margins improve

    Monsanto’s Profit Rises 22%

    I can only post 5 links but believe me I have pages of links connecting the deaths of people to the profits of the international corporations who are pushing this CAGW scam.

    Start using your brain for thinking instead of emoting.

      Sadly, again, as I have said, and you prove, this is a fossil fuel industry propaganda talking point.

      How is a future of fossil fuels that only pay for themselves when a barrel of oil sells for more than $50 going to help the poor pensioners you cite? Cheap fossil fuels are over . we have fracking and tar sands and if you listen to T Boone, methane hydrates as a future .. or we could set the world up on decentralized, power without externalities.

      No one is claiming we should stop FF use, we must SWITCH. I don’t believe we are too stupid or too poor, we are too brainwashed by the fossil fuel industry who wants us to remain on it’s product.

          SO Fab .. no manner of fact can help you .. I would think your chums here can at least see how inane you are here.

          Can’t parse data at all:

          THE CASE HAS NEVER BEEN HEARD

          “After a lower court allowed Range’s lawsuit to proceed, the Second District Court of Appeals in Fort Worth ordered that court to set aside all charges except the defamation and disparagement allegations against Steve Lipsky. The court said Range provided no clear evidence that the others had conspired with him. Now, the Texas Supreme Court will weigh in, with oral arguments scheduled for Dec. 4. First Amendment lawyers, who say lower courts have inconsistently applied the law, will watch closely.”

          Now we have also proven that I can answer you 40 or 50 times, I wouldn’t matter you can do nothing intellectually with the information, but ask the same question over and over

          Did Judge Loftin lie when he signed this court document?

          The court, having reviewed the law and evidence as well as motions, briefs and arguments of the counsel of this case denies plaintiffs section 27 Anti-Slapp motion to dismiss Range’s counter claims. The court references with concerns the actions of Steven Lipsky, under the advice or direction of Mrs Alicia Rich to intentionally attach a garden hose to a gas vent – not to a water line – and then light and burn the gas from the end of the nozzle of the hose. The demonstration was not done for scientific study but to provide local and national news media a deceptive video, calculated to alarm the public into believing the water was burning. There is further evidence that Rich knew the regional EPA administration and provided or assisted in providing additional mislead information (including the garden hose video) to alarm the EPA. More over the emails in question which refer to this deceptive garden hose demonstration as a “strategy” appear to support that a “meeting of the minds” took place and that a reasonable trier of fact could believe, together with other evidence, That elements of a conspiracy to defame Range exist.

          THE CASE HAS NEVER BEEN HEARD FOOL

          “After a lower court allowed Range’s lawsuit to proceed, the Second District Court of Appeals in Fort Worth ordered that court to set aside all charges except the defamation and disparagement allegations against Steve Lipsky. The court said Range provided no clear evidence that the others had conspired with him. Now, the Texas Supreme Court will weigh in, with oral arguments scheduled for Dec. 4. First Amendment lawyers, who say lower courts have inconsistently applied the law, will watch closely.”

    Sadly, again, as I have said, and you prove, this is a fossil fuel industry propaganda talking point.

    How is a future of fossil fuels that only pay for themselves when a barrel of oil sells for more than $50 going to help the poor pensioners you cite? Cheap fossil fuels are over . we have fracking and tar sands and if you listen to T Boone, methane hydrates as a future .. or we could set the world up on decentralized, power without externalities.

    No one is claiming we should stop FF use, we must SWITCH. I don’t believe we are too stupid or too poor, we are too brainwashed by the fossil fuel industry who wants us to remain on it’s product.

    #1. No matter how you spin it renewables do not make the grade based on PHYSICS. The energy density just isn’t there.

    #2. Energy Returned On Energy Invested value for wind power is 0.29. The manufacture, installation and operation of wind power facilities will consume more than 3 times the energy they will ever produce. On top of that on average, wind turbines only produce about 20% of their nameplate rating and are not lasting nearly as long as advertised.

    The biggest problem, aside from the fact solar and wind are enviromental disasters, is they are intermittent. The solution is turning off people’s power.

    Hope says: “No one is claiming we should stop FF use, we must SWITCH.”
    You are incorrect Hope. the President’s goal to reduce emissions 83% by 2050, the expected pathway set forth in this pending legislation would entail a 30% reduction below 2005 levels in 2025 and a 42% reduction below 2005 in 2030. . I took a quick and dirty look at what that actually means:
    https://stevengoddard.wordpress.com/2014/02/08/the-john-holdren-climate-refrigerator/#comment-316921

    Finally the IPCC lead author for future Scenarios is Ged Davis. He was Shell Oil VP at the time.

    4. Sustainable Development (B1)

    The central elements of this scenario family include high levels of environmental and social consciousness, successful governance including major social innovation, and reductions in income and social inequality. Successful forms of governance allow many problems which are currently hard or difficult to resolve to fall within the competency of government and other organisations. Solutions reflect a wide stakeholder dialogue leading to consent on international environmental and social agreements. This is coupled with bottom-up solutions to problems, which reflect wide success in getting broad-based support within communities. The concerns over global sustainable development, expressed in a myriad of environmental and social issues, results in the eventual successful management of the interaction between human activities and the biosphere. While no explicit climate policy is undertaken, other kinds of initiatives lead to lower energy use, and clean energy systems, which significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Besides cleaning up air quality, there is emphasis on improving the availability and quality of water….

    4.14 Communications, Settlement Patterns and Environment The social innovations and effective governance rest on high levels of communication, both in a passive (i.e. TV) and active sense. Governance systems reflect high levels of consent from those affected by decisions, and this consent arises out of active participation in the governance process. Settlement patterns arise from design, and tend to reflect a distributed, compact, city design structure. This results in high amenity levels, and the careful design and location of these cities results in a lessening of the natural disasters which plague many cities today. Advanced hazard warning systems and careful design limit the impact of such disasters. Low emission technologies, and careful management of land use, preservation of large tracts of land, and active intervention to counteract the impacts of imprudent societal actions strengthen the resilience of the ecological system.

    4.2 Scenarios

    4.21 Energy Resources/Technology
    Energy efficiency innovations, and successful institutional innovations disseminating their use, result in much lower levels of energy use relative to historic patterns. The forward-looking nature of societal planning results in relatively smooth transitions to alternative energy systems as conventional oil and gas resources dwindle in availability. There is major use of unconventional natural gas as fuel supply during the transition, but the major push is towards renewable resources such as solar and wind. The impact of environmental concerns is a significant factor in the planning for new energy systems. Two alternative energy systems, leading to two sub-scenarios, are considered to provide this energy:
    1. Widespread expansion of natural gas, with a growing role for renewable energy (scenario B1N). Oil and coal are of lesser importance, especially post-2050. This transition is faster in the developed than in the developing countries.
    2. A more rapid development of renewables, replacing coal and oil; the bulk of the remaining energy coming from natural gas (scenario B1R).

      This is that implementation taking place RIGHT NOW. The Demise of Christ Church NZ Notice the people are NOT ASKED. It is not even coming from within the country.

      In 1992, As Chairman Strong told the UN conference at Kyoto…

      “It is clear that current lifestyles and consumption patterns of the affluent middle class, involving high meat intake, consumption of large amounts of frozen and convenience foods, use of fossil fuels, appliances, home and work place air conditioning, and suburban housing are not sustainable.”

      The same propaganda was repeated by WTO Director-General Pascal Lamy…

      “climate change negotiations are not just about the global environment but global economics as well — the way that technology, costs and growth are to be distributed and shared… Can we balance the need for a sustainable planet with the need to provide billions with decent living standards? Can we do that without questioning radically the Western way of life? “

      It is the international elite who are running this show and manipulating you. They do NOT want a free and wealthy middle class that challenges them.

          "Steve Lipsky was ruled to have committed fraud" IS a fossil fuel industry talking point – it serves Range Resources , but is repeated by Energy In Depth, Levant, Nat Gas Now/Shepstone … and all con media coverage uses this WRONG statement.

          The RULING was on PROCEDURE!

          Did Judge Loftin lie when he signed this court document?

          The court, having reviewed the law and evidence as well as motions, briefs and arguments of the counsel of this case denies plaintiffs section 27 Anti-Slapp motion to dismiss Range’s counter claims. The court references with concerns the actions of Steven Lipsky, under the advice or direction of Mrs Alicia Rich to intentionally attach a garden hose to a gas vent – not to a water line – and then light and burn the gas from the end of the nozzle of the hose. The demonstration was not done for scientific study but to provide local and national news media a deceptive video, calculated to alarm the public into believing the water was burning. There is further evidence that Rich knew the regional EPA administration and provided or assisted in providing additional mislead information (including the garden hose video) to alarm the EPA. More over the emails in question which refer to this deceptive garden hose demonstration as a “strategy” appear to support that a “meeting of the minds” took place and that a reasonable trier of fact could believe, together with other evidence, That elements of a conspiracy to defame Range exist.

          Therefore pursuant to Texas practice and Remedies code 27 as a finding of fact and conclusion of law, the court observes that Range has presented sufficient clear and specific evidence to maintain a prima facia case with regard to the counter claim against plaintiffs and the third party action against Lisa Rich in that a reasonable trier of fact could believe that a conspiracy to defame Range existed between Lipsky and Mrs Rich.

          The court, having reviewed the law and evidence as well as motions, briefs and arguments of the counsel of this case denies plaintiffs section 27 Anti-Slapp motion to dismiss Range’s counter claims. The court references with concerns the actions of Steven Lipsky, under the advice or direction of Mrs Alicia Rich to intentionally attach a garden hose to a gas vent – not to a water line – and then light and burn the gas from the end of the nozzle of the hose. The demonstration was not done for scientific study but to provide local and national news media a deceptive video, calculated to alarm the public into believing the water was burning. There is further evidence that Rich knew the regional EPA administration and provided or assisted in providing additional mislead information (including the garden hose video) to alarm the EPA. More over the emails in question which refer to this deceptive garden hose demonstration as a “strategy” appear to support that a “meeting of the minds” took place and that a reasonable trier of fact could believe, together with other evidence, That elements of a conspiracy to defame Range exist.

          Therefore pursuant to Texas practice and Remedies code 27 as a finding of fact and conclusion of law, the court observes that Range has presented sufficient clear and specific evidence to maintain a prima facia case with regard to the counter claim against plaintiffs and the third party action against Lisa Rich in that a reasonable trier of fact could believe that a conspiracy to defame Range existed between Lipsky and Mrs Rich.

          Michael,
          Energy density can be calculated. It is the amount of sunlight per meter squared that falls on a solar panel that is set at a certain angle to catch the sun. Then you have to take into account clouds, aging…. Of course you can also do a lot of fudging with the numbers too.

          Think about it. Sunlight is diffuse enough it doesn’t burn us.

          Wind is even tougher because the wind is intermittent and too much – shut down, too little – shut down.

          Hope keeps saying “Fossil fuel industry propaganda talking point” never even bothering to look at a point that is being made or by whom. If it does not fit her world view it automatically is Big Oil propaganda. The following are a few comments from people who seem to know what they are talking about. Many are engineers or scientists talking about their field. I counted well over 300 who contribute to WUWT.

          Oh, and I should mention I seriously looked at wind and solar for my farm and came to the conclusion Geothermal was the only reasonable ‘renewable’ outside of a wood stove. I am on the top of a hill with clay soil so pumped storage not batteries would be the best option. Because the wind blows most of the time we have no mosquitoes. I was not happy to figure out wind power was nothing but an expensive fraud. I really really want off the grid.

          CCS is expensive. Having done engineering on such facilities, the capture cost is somewhere north of $100 / tonne. Is this scale of number included in the CCS cases? It seems you have included $15 / tonne in the non-CCS, which would make me think the CCS ones are too low.

          …..The average capacity factor for all German wind turbines was only 17.5% in 2012.

          Additionally, 25% is an unrealistically optimistic number for solar PV capacity factor. Germany has the most solar generating capacity of any country in the world, but its 2012 average capacity factor was just 10.5%. An Arizona site might double that, but there’s no way they’ll get to 25%.

          Based on this 2012 report, the German nation-wide average wind capacity factor for 2012 was apparently just under 17.5% [45867 GWh/yr / (29.9 GW * 24 * 366) = 0.1746]. I.e., actual generated power was 17.5% of nameplate capacity, despite the fact that a lot of their windmills are pretty new, and electricity prices there are so extraordinarily high there (thanks to “green” politics) that there’s a strong incentive to keep the turbines well-maintained and running. Where electricity prices are lower, that incentive fades. I expect wind to blow, but that really sucks. Believe it or not, PV fared even worse — it’s average capacity factor in Germany in 2012 was only about 10.5%.

          Caveat: There’s a new 2013 version of that German report out, but I’ve not yet redone the arithmetic.

          The 25% capacity value for PV they used demands 2190 sun hours per year. Or 6 sunhours a day.
          Parts of Africa and parts of Australia will achieve that. And a few spots in the Andes:
          http://solarjourneyusa.com/solarvsgas.php

          Turbines degrade rapidly with age due to operation in a harsh and unforgiving environment and due to difficulty of maintenance.

          Also, I posted regarding fundamental problems with wind power a long time ago.
          http://wattsupwiththat.com/2011/02/13/the-futility-of-wind-power/#comment-598728

          In CA the Energy Commission has released 100m wind maps. We’ll get to that below. Each wind turbine uses 80 acres. That provides a 1/3 to 1/2 mile separation between turbines that occasionally disintegrate. The separation is needed to protect the neighboring turbines. I’ve posted this before, but here goes again:

          To provide 10% of power needs in CA would require 10,000 1.5 MW wind turbines. On 80 acres each, you need 1250 square miles of land. Except there isn’t enough land area with the required wind speeds (the CEC wind speed maps at 100m AGL). That means the turbines need to be built off shore. 1250 sq miles translates to 500 miles of coastline with 7 or so rows of turbines from the shore out to sea covering a band 2.5 miles wide.

        “After a lower court allowed Range’s lawsuit to proceed <<<<<<<<<<<<

        the Second District Court of Appeals in Fort Worth ordered that court to set aside all charges except the defamation and disparagement allegations against Steve Lipsky. The court said Range provided no clear evidence that the others had conspired with him. Now, the Texas Supreme Court will weigh in, with oral arguments scheduled for Dec. 4. First Amendment lawyers, who say lower courts have inconsistently applied the law, will watch closely."

        But YOU DO prove THAT PEOPLE CAN BECOME INSANE repeating FOSSIL FUEL INDUSTRY TALKING POINTS.

        "Steve Lipsky was ruled to have committed fraud" IS a fossil fuel industry talking point – it serves Range Resources , but is repeated by Energy In Depth, Levant, Nat Gas Now/Shepstone … and all con media coverage uses this WRONG statement.

          The court, having reviewed the law and evidence as well as motions, briefs and arguments of the counsel of this case denies plaintiffs section 27 Anti-Slapp motion to dismiss Range’s counter claims. The court references with concerns the actions of Steven Lipsky, under the advice or direction of Mrs Alicia Rich to intentionally attach a garden hose to a gas vent – not to a water line – and then light and burn the gas from the end of the nozzle of the hose. The demonstration was not done for scientific study but to provide local and national news media a deceptive video, calculated to alarm the public into believing the water was burning. There is further evidence that Rich knew the regional EPA administration and provided or assisted in providing additional mislead information (including the garden hose video) to alarm the EPA. More over the emails in question which refer to this deceptive garden hose demonstration as a “strategy” appear to support that a “meeting of the minds” took place and that a reasonable trier of fact could believe, together with other evidence, That elements of a conspiracy to defame Range exist.

          Therefore pursuant to Texas practice and Remedies code 27 as a finding of fact and conclusion of law, the court observes that Range has presented sufficient clear and specific evidence to maintain a prima facia case with regard to the counter claim against plaintiffs and the third party action against Lisa Rich in that a reasonable trier of fact could believe that a conspiracy to defame Range existed between Lipsky and Mrs Rich.

        If you simply READ about the case you would see:

        “Your boy was found to have attempted to deceive the public and EPA. Period.”

        THAT is WRONG. Range produced enough evidence for this judge to ALLOW THE CASE to go forward ..

          You still have not shown a single lie in this document…

          The court, having reviewed the law and evidence as well as motions, briefs and arguments of the counsel of this case denies plaintiffs section 27 Anti-Slapp motion to dismiss Range’s counter claims. The court references with concerns the actions of Steven Lipsky, under the advice or direction of Mrs Alicia Rich to intentionally attach a garden hose to a gas vent – not to a water line – and then light and burn the gas from the end of the nozzle of the hose. The demonstration was not done for scientific study but to provide local and national news media a deceptive video, calculated to alarm the public into believing the water was burning. There is further evidence that Rich knew the regional EPA administration and provided or assisted in providing additional mislead information (including the garden hose video) to alarm the EPA. More over the emails in question which refer to this deceptive garden hose demonstration as a “strategy” appear to support that a “meeting of the minds” took place and that a reasonable trier of fact could believe, together with other evidence, That elements of a conspiracy to defame Range exist.

          Therefore pursuant to Texas practice and Remedies code 27 as a finding of fact and conclusion of law, the court observes that Range has presented sufficient clear and specific evidence to maintain a prima facia case with regard to the counter claim against plaintiffs and the third party action against Lisa Rich in that a reasonable trier of fact could believe that a conspiracy to defame Range existed between Lipsky and Mrs Rich.

          Do you have any conspiracy theories about HOW someone would FAKE EPA isotopic testing? It’s impossible:

          ‘Region 6 also identified a nearby gas production well as a potential source and collected gas samples for is isotopic and compositional analysis from both the gas
          well, operated by Range Resources, a nd the drinking water wells”

          Try this .. are you familiar with isotopic testing?

        • Michael 2 says:

          Hope recommended an EPA document. It is interesting; I shall save a copy.

          I noticed on page 5 this footnote:

          “Subsequent to the emergency order, the EPA determined that it was unlikely that Range Resources’ gas well drilling and production activities had caused the contamination in Residential Well 2.”

          http://www.epa.gov/oig/reports/2014/20131220-14-P-0044.pdf

          “However, the EPA believed its prospects in this case were uncertain”

          I concur. The chart on page 11 shows essentially the same C13/C12 ratio in all methane sources tested, at water wells and at Range Resource’s drilling well. (bottom axis). The left axis is percentage of dissolved methane and across the bottom the ratio of C12 to C13 as compared to a standard, and expressed in “mils” which is like percent except multiply by 1000 rather than just 100.

          It appears every well tested, including production wells, have nearly identical C13/C14 ratios and that means that the test is not very useful in this present instance. There’s a difference in the amount of methane found, but not a difference in type. It also shows methane in every well tested. It is everywhere (hello, it is Texas, what did you expect?).

          Thus it cannot be said with certainty whether the well contamination came from Range Resources based on this evidence. You don’t go to court on a precedent setting case with that much uncertainty.

          But I’ll grant on a preponderance of evidence that Lipsky does indeed have a methane problem.

          He should not have produced, or help produce, a video naming names without having an affirmative defense. Range Resources is off the hook and that puts him in a legally vulnerable position.

        • AndyG55 says:

          “Extensive geochemical gas fingerprinting, however, showed a natural source for the methane – not drilling (or “fracking”). An EPA official later ADMITTED UNDER OATH that the agency HAD NOT CONDUCTED EXTENSIVE FINGERPRINTING to find the source, and in 2012 the EPA dropped its case.”

      Actually YOU Are sowing disinformation here .. and you refuse to take the time to do any reading on what you are claiming.

      Through all of this drama, Range Resources has found time last year to launch a lawsuit against Lipsky. Last August, the company won an appeals court’s permission to pursue defamation and business disparagement claims against him.

      • Gail Combs says:

        I am repeating what the court findings are PERIOD. It is YOU who twist and turn like a pinned snake.

        If Lipsky was too arrogant to bother to go to the court house that is on his head. The court make an official ruling that still stands. The judge stated he committed fraud and this thread seems to indicate that you were/are aiding in further attacks on the reputation of Range Resources.

          ===========
          Based on the evidence collected and its discussions with the RRC in
          November 2010, Region 6 began coordinating with the EPA’s headquarters to
          take emergency action under the SDWA. Region 6 issued an emergency order to
          Range Resources on December 7, 2010, citing that the gas production well either
          caused or contributed to the contamination in two residential water wells.6
          ===========
          Footnote 6 said:
          ===========
          Subsequent to the emergency order, the EPA determined that it was unlikely
          that Range Resources’ gas well drilling and production activities had caused the contamination in Residential Well 2.
          ===========

          The EPA proved nothing. They issued and emergency order on an assumption of guilt by Range, and then determined that the assumption was wrong.

        Snow has also forced the closure of the Mexico City – Puebla City 150-D highway. This is near the equator at 19° N. Mauna Loa observatory is at 19.5° N.

        A few days ago the heaviest 24 hour snowfall record was broken with 8+ Feet (100.8 inches) in just 18 hours in 18 Hours in the town of Capracotta in Southern Italy. Boston MA had 107.9 inches of snow during the entire season as a comparison.

          Andy,

          She also doesn’t have the reasoning ability or science background to look at information and evaluate it. All she can do is let someone else do all her thinking for her.

          I have read a heck of a lot of scientific papers. Some are excellent work, some are interesting, some are questionable and some are outright B. S. Hope would never ever be able to evaluate the papers I have read. Heck I doubt she is capable of actually understanding 75% of them!

          She is certainly is not familiar enough with climate science to understand why exceptionally cold temperatures in the upper troposphere in the tropics is so significant. If she was she would not have spewed that typical activist gibberish.

    “I’m starting a non-profit production company. “
    …..

    ROTFLMAO

    At least in the 1970s the HIGHEST PAID CEO in the USA was the CEO of a ‘Non-profit’ called the Red Cross.

    ‘Non-profit’ is just a corporate TAX status.

    The best way to hide Money Laundering is through a ‘Consulting Business’. Richard Muller, Judith Curry and Stan Greenberg all have consulting businesses.

    Stan Greenberg is Rosa Delauro (D-CT) hubby.

    ….But the entry that really sent my Democratic strategist friend ballistic was the one for Rep. Rosa DeLauro, the Connecticut Democrat. La Rosa–tied for #48 on the Richest list–gets the lion’s share of her wealth from her husband–Clintonista pollster and campaign strategist Stan Greenberg. Says Roll Call, “DeLauro’s primary asset is a 67-percent stake in Greenberg Quinlan Rosner Research Inc., a Washington-based firm run by her husband, Democratic pollster Stan Greenberg. Her share in the company nets the Representative $5 million to $25 million. She has a partial stake in two other polling/consulting firms. The first is Greenberg Research, of which she and her husband own 100 percent, and Sun Surveys, in which she owns a 60 percent stake. Neither of these is as lucrative as Greenberg Quinlan Rosner, however.”
    My bud the political warhorse snorted, “Hell, she first ran for Congress she didn’t have a dime–I was one of her biggest contributors. And Stan Greenberg, who worked for me back when he was starting out, used to have holes in his socks!” Noting that Congressional wealth is usually closer to the higher than to the lower estimates on the disclosure forms, my dour Democrat gasped, “That means they’re making around $50 million! These people shouldn’t be running Democratic campaigns!”

    So, if you want to know why the national Democrats seem, in this campaign, to have a tin ear where touching the hearts and minds of the working stiffs is concerned, think about this: the three partners in the Democracy Corps–Greenberg, James Carville, and Kerry’s chief message-shaper Bob Shrum–are all multimillionaires. And yet their counsel–proferred in an endless series of free Democracy Corps memos distributed to the party elite well before and during the presidential primaries, whose content (or lack of it) they helped shape–is taken as gospel by Democratic liberals feverish for victory. Well, as the old Texas populist Maury Maverick Jr. used to say, “a liberal is a power junkie without the power.” 
    http://www.mlive.com/forums/farmington/index.ssf?artid=624

    DeLauro was pushing the Food Safety Modernization Act Monsanto’s dream bill for over ten years. Hubby was a Monsanto consultant —- Quelle Surprise!

    Hey guys for once Hope actually stumbled across some truth!

    And Hope notice everyone else here is aware of the significance of snow in Mexico City and Hawaii.

    • Hope says:

      I love how you can spin, as you accuse others of spin:

      ‘ Region 6 concluded that gas in the groundwater and gas from the production well were nearly identical and likely originated from the same source. Region 6, therefore, concluded that a gas production well owned by Range Resources caused or contribut
      ed to the contamination in the groundwater.”

      http://www.epa.gov/oig/reports/2014/20131220-14-P-0044.pdf

      You can spin, but can you READ? And can you answer direct questions? Let’s see …

      Do YOU support the rights of a gas company to pollute YOUR water, then sue you when you note the EPA’s isotonic testing proves they did?

      Does Range have the right to destroy this family?

      Con media and the brainwashed support of well trained dupes like you helps Range do that.

      Why not read up on the case, Gail?

      • Gail Combs says:

        I support the LAW and not someone out to sue a company that did nothing to him. Lipsky KNEW before he built that the water was crap.

        • Hope says:

          Pecks Drilling testifies under oath the water had no methane when drilled.

          You may support the law .. but you refuse to take the time to read up on this case.

        • Michael 2 says:

          Hope says

          “You may support the law .. but you refuse to take the time to read up on this case.”

          Whereas I am taking the time to read up on the case, and the more I study it, the less impressed I am that Lipsky has a case; I wonder if you have studied the case.

          The court says

          “The Trinity water aquifer that supplies water to the Lipskys’ water well had contained methane gas for many years before they drilled the well. [3 CR 733, 735, 739-40, ¶ 17; App. C] For example, test results for the public water supply system in the adjacent Lake Country Acres subdivision have reflected the presence of natural gas in the water for decades. [3 CR 638-39]. Indeed, one of the Lake Country Acres water wells contains a warning sign that reads ‘DANGER FLAMMABLE GAS.’ [2 SCR 646, Tab C, Slide 20].”

          “In 2005 (four years before Range drilled the gas wells at issue), a water well drilled in Silverado, approximately 800 feet from the Lipskys’ water well, contained so much natural gas that it forced water out of the well without any pump, and also flared gas, as shown below”

          http://www.search.txcourts.gov/SearchMedia.aspx?MediaVersionID=8575e012-8876-4480-961a-83258619c5d8&coa=cossup&DT=BRIEFS&MediaID=ec356c62-5109-46a8-9ecb-b37bec5901f4

          Obviously the driller under oath saying there was no methane was either lying or mistaken.

          “Not surprisingly, within months after moving into their house in September 2009, they began noticing that it took longer for the well holding tank to refill, “especially after agricultural watering was completed, a process which typically used 2000-3000 gallons.” [5 CR 1249-50]. The Lipskys’
          increase in water usage, together with similar usage by other large homes in Silverado, reduced the Trinity aquifer water level such that naturally-occurring gas in the Strawn formation could more readily migrate into the aquifer.”

          Well there you have it, just as I and others have suspected. Too much pumping drained the Trinity aquifer allowing natural gas from the Strawn formation, only 200 feet deep, to migrate.

          I think that my involvement and interest in this affair is ended.

    Oh deary me… someone’s been caught out LYING again.. Hopeless little thing !!

    “Extensive geochemical gas fingerprinting, however, showed a natural source for the methane – not drilling (or “fracking”). An EPA official later admitted under oath that the agency had NOT conducted extensive fingerprinting to find the source, and in 2012 the EPA dropped its case.

    After the EPA withdrew the endangerment order, the Texas Railroad Commission – which regulates oil and gas in Texas – reaffirmed the lack of impact: “Range Resources’ Parker County gas wells did not contaminate groundwater.”

    I invite people to read Exhibit 022.
    http://energyindepth.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Exhibit-022.pdf

    And of course from the 2012 ruling of the Texas court

    “intentionally attach a garden hose to a gas vent – not to a water line – and then light and burn the gas from the end of the nozzle of the hose. The demonstration was not done for scientific study but to provide local and national news media a deceptive video, calculated to alarm the public into believing the water was burning … [and] alarm the EPA.”

      They work for the fossil fuel industry against the public and forward every Range Resources claim, as paid.

      ” showed a natural source for the methane – not drilling (or “fracking”)”

      Again, the testimony under oath of the driller proves the methane was not there before, but also the fact that the well pump functioned for the first 5 years, when the gas hit the well, the pump stopped functioning.

      You could have read up a bit and known that.

      Again … think up a great conspiracy their about how anyone could steal that much gas from a production well .. you refuse to admit that is impossible.

    (I am no lawyer but this certainly looks interesting.)
    http://biz.yahoo.com/e/141020/rrc8-k.html

    On October 16, 2014, Range Resources Corporation (“Range”) entered into an amended and restated revolving credit agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and other lenders and agents party thereto (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement is initially a senior secured reserve based revolving credit facility with an aggregate maximum principal amount of $4.0 billion, a borrowing base of $3.0 billion and aggregate lender commitments of $2.0 billion. The new agreement has a maturity date of October 16, 2019….

    If an event of default exists under the Credit Agreement, the lenders will be able to accelerate the maturity of the credit facility and exercise other rights and remedies. An event of default includes, among other things: nonpayment of principal when due; nonpayment of interest, fees or other amounts (subject to a five-day grace period); material inaccuracy of representations and warranties; violation of covenants; cross-default in excess of $125 million beyond any applicable grace period; bankruptcy events; certain ERISA events; judgments in excess of $125 million; and a change in control…..

    Looks like if Lipsky could get the allegation to stick and organize the rest of his neighbors to go after Range, JP Morgan might end up with the company….

      Also Hope, in that picture, is a good ten or more years younger.

      You might be interested in this broader history of this cast of characters and the movie in the making link

      …Range filed a countersuit against Steve Lipsky, seeking $4.2 million in actual damages, plus unspecified punitive damages for legal costs and damage to its reputation. In February 2012, Texas State District Judge Trey Loftin denied a motion by Lipsy and his environmental consultant, Alisa Rich, to dismiss the counterclaim. Judge Loktin’s order expressed concern that Lipsky, “under the advice or direction” of Rich, had attached a hose to his water well’s gas vent…not to a water line…and then lit the gas from the hose’s nozzle. He concluded that “This demonstration was not done for scientific study but to provide local and national news media a deceptive video, calculated to alarm the public into believing the water was burning.”

      In its counterclaim, Range called the video a “gross distortion.” They stated that “The hose pictured…is not a water hose at all, but is used solely for the purpose of venting gas.”

      The judge’s decision came as a second blow to Lipsky. Little more than two weeks earlier he had ruled that he did not have jurisdiction to hear the original lawsuit because since the complaint challenged findings of the Railroad Commission, only the Travis County district court in Austin could hear it. The deadline to petition that court had already passed.

      Meanwhile, the EPA has backed off in their actions against Range as well. After spending more than a year in federal court attempting to force the company to comply with its endangerment order, it dropped it altogether. In exchange for this concession, Range agreed to sample 20 private water wells surrounding its pad site every three months for a year….

      A 2004 EPA study concluded that fracking fluids posed no significant risk to drinking water. In fact both the EPA and the Ground Water Protection Council, a nonprofit made up of state regulatory agencies, have published studies determining that no documented evidence of fracking-sourced groundwater pollution has been found.….

      That article straightens out a lot of the twists Hope has tried to put into the story.

          At some risk of sounding conspiratorial, it could be Range Resources themselves, removed by a couple of layers of indirection.

          Sooner or later contamination will occur, or a well blow-out, and it could be spectacular. Just as vaccination gives you a small dose of a serious disease to build your immunities, you can also immunize yourself against adverse public reaction.

          What you do is provoke a case against yourself. It has to seem legitimate enough but it has to have elements of absurdity that, once revealed, does at least two things:

          1. Prepares public opinion to be sympathetic to industry and hostile to environmentalists and
          2. Uncovers hidden alignments within the environmental industry.

          Results reveal intentions.

          This case was doomed from the outset, but extremely risky since you never know which way public opinion is going to go, and it is public opinion that eventually shapes juror’s views in the case that a trial actually happens.

          The hints are there. The news articles, while seeming to be sympathetic to Lipsky’s, actually paint them as whining rich kids. The painting of them as rich is carefully done. The adults are not identified by age but their children are so identified, which gives an important clue. His employment with JP Morgan is highlighted.

          So, while seeming to be sympathetic, in fact the Lipsky’s were “cut out of the herd” and made to be rich; producing a rich versus rich fight that most people don’t care about who wins and happens every day anyway. It is what rich people do.

          With the adjacent wells flaring gas from day one of their drilling, four years before Range Resources comes drilling, sufficient evidence exists that I doubt any jury on Earth would find for the Lipskys.

          These facts had to have been known to the litigants before they started this case. So you are you going to get willing to walk into this? You are right to think it is staged and a setup, but look deeper.

          The next person that comes along complaining about contamination isn’t even going to get in the front door of the EPA. Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me.

          It could also be what it seems to be. Maybe I have too much faith in human intelligence thinking that nobody could be that inept to think this case had a chance of going anywhere.

        gas samples collected from the residential water wells were contaminated. Test
        results on November 16, 2010, showed the presence of chemical contamination in

        “The EPA Concluded That a Gas Well Was the Most Likely Contributor
        to the Contamination The information that the EPA had in its possession was sufficient for it to conclude that the gas production well was the most likely contributor to the
        contamination of the aquifer that led to the ISE. It was the closest potential source
        of contamination to the contaminated drinking water well and Range Resources
        drilled the well shortly before the homeowners first reported the contamination.

  48. Hope says:

    Yes …please take note of the author of the Forbes piece .. but also the piece has the information you need:

    ‘ In February 2012, Texas State District Judge Trey Loftin denied a motion by Lipsy and his environmental consultant, Alisa Rich, to dismiss the counterclaim.”

    ‘denied a motion”

    So you READ “denied a motion” … you have read it many time here … but you refuse to admit that was ALL the Loftin ruling did .. it did not find Steve GUILTY as all of you have been trained to believe by con media and fossil fuel industry propaganda.

    THINK about it – it seems that you are just trained to attack those you have been told are always lying = anyone who doesn’t disbelieve modern climate science … so you do no real research because you believe I am just a liar. And LOOK how WRONG you are!

    “In its counterclaim, Range called the video a “gross distortion.” They stated that “The hose pictured…is not a water hose at all, but is used solely for the purpose of venting gas.”

    This is the hilarious contamination Range makes (among many) in their lawsuit against their own water contamination victims –

    Look again at the video .. what was the hose hooked to?

    Steve’s water wellhead – which as Loftin noted – is now a gas vent “intentionally attach a garden hose to a gas vent – ”

    Any of you know how or why the hose got connected to the water wellhead?

    You would if you read the cites I gave and depositions form the case.

    You can;t fool EPA Isotonic testing, esp reviewed by their Oig.

    Steve didn’t steal all that gas from Range – that’s impossible.

    Y’all are positing a scientifically impossible.

    But it is interesting to see the lengths that you go to in doing so.

    “Range called the video a “gross distortion.” ”

    Dozens of people have been out an filmed, tested the well in the past nearly 5 years. Major US universities and new crews.

    It it not a possibility that Steve faked this contam .. tho that is the fossil fuel industry’s propaganda .. that you repeat.

          We have shown you that even the EPA says there is no case worth hearing.

          ” The test results also showed benzene levels above the EPA published maximum contamination levels.
          Based on an isotopic analysis, Region 6 concluded that gas in the groundwater
          and gas from the production well were nearly identical and likely originated from
          the same source.”

          PAGE 9 ….

          “The EPA was justified in concluding that the contamination in the residential
          wells constituted an ISE based on the data the EPA collected. The EPA water and
          gas samples collected from the residential water wells were contaminated. Test
          results on November 16, 2010, showed the presence of chemical contamination in
          both wells. The contamination levels indicated a risk to a drinking water source—
          the aquifer and the well s drawing from it.”

          page 12

          “The EPA Concluded That a Gas Well Was the Most Likely Contributor
          to the Contamination The information that the EPA had in its possession was sufficient for it to conclude that the gas production well was the most likely contributor to the
          contamination of the aquifer that led to the ISE. It was the closest potential source
          of contamination to the contaminated drinking water well and Range Resources
          drilled the well shortly before the homeowners first reported the contamination.
          Moreover, the EPA data showed the composition of the gas contaminating the
          water wells to be nearly identical to that of the gas in the production well, and that
          the gas from both types of wells was likely from the same source. ”

        She can’t get over it. She is too invested in pushing the FRAUD.

        Notice how she knows absolutely NOTHING about the science of Climate Change. She knows absolutely nothing about geology. However she has all the talking points pushing the Lipshitt fraud down pat. If you toss facts at her she always has some sort of come back ready to hand.

        Hope is very much a disinfo agent. Given she has been pushing this for DAYS to people who are smart enough to see the fraud, you would think she would give up and pedal her snake oil to an easier audience.

        Either she is planing to do a cut and paste propaganda piece on Steve using our comments or she is PAID to be here.

        As I have already stated if she does a cut and past libelous piece, I think we should ask Range if we can join in a law suit against her libel.

          The chemical analysis in Exhibit 022 showed with ABSOLUTE CERTAINTY that any gas in Lipsync’s well was from Strawn and NOT from the Barnett seams that Range are drilling.

          Hopeless is of course totally unable to accept that this totally destroys any case Lipsync and his activist tribe have, that recent drilling has caused the small amount of gas in his well. (Must be a small amount otherwise he wouldn’t have had to resort to fraud to show it)

        • Hope says:

          Steve has done no live interviews .. as he was claiming:

          “Steve Goddard Hope Forpeace • 8 days ago
          I’d love to. I do interviews all the time.
          But I prefer live interviews so that people don’t selectively edit.”

          this “article” is just such an ad hom hack job … as you sit here accepting it an adding to the ad hom hackery.

          “She is too invested in pushing the FRAUD.”

          Thyne’s report relied on hydrogen and carbon isotopic fingerprinting to suggest that Range’s activities in the Barnett Shale were impacting Lipsky’s water, because the isotopic readings in the water well were similar to what is encountered in the Barnett Shale. But as geochemist Mark McCaffrey (B.A., Harvard; Ph.D., MIT) of Weatherford Labs determined in his investigation :
          “The geochemical parameter used by the EPA to determine a thermogenic origin of the Lipsky gas (e.g., the C isotopic composition of methane) does not differentiate gas in the Barnett Formation from gas in the Pennsylvanian reservoirs.” (emphasis added)
          In other words, carbon isotopic fingerprinting (which Thyne used) will not correctly determine the source of the gas; instead, nitrogen content must be used to distinguish between Barnett gas and shallower (Pennsylvanian) formation gases.

          The EPA also DID NOT TEST the Strawn gas for isotopic similarity, only the Barnett.
          They are similar isotopically, but very different in Nitrogen content. Dr Beak at the EPA noted that the isotonic tests were insufficient as a marker.

          Further testing by Weatherford Labs proved conclusively that the small amount of gas was from the Strawn deposit NOT from Barnett.

    Reposting: Read the statement of facts in this legal brief. Sounds like a witch hunt to me, Range being the witch. And if Hope thinks it’s cheaper for a company to fight a lawsuit, and counter sue than it is to settle, then she’s not very bright.

    http://www.search.txcourts.gov/SearchMedia.aspx?MediaVersionID=8575e012-8876-4480-961a-83258619c5d8&coa=cossup&DT=BRIEFS&MediaID=ec356c62-5109-46a8-9ecb-b37bec5901f4

    Read the documents that Range has supplied to the court, deposition testimony by Steve Lipsky and by the liar Alisa Rich. She had testimony in another case thrown out because she is a liar. Claimed she has a PhD when she has nothing of the sort. She has no experience in earth sciences, she herself is a fraud. Lipsky was asked in his deposition if he watched Gas Land, and his reply was, “I’m sorry to say, yes.”

    Here’s my take. The Lipsky’s had gas in their water 4 years before Range fracked in the area. Evidence shows others in the area did too. After Range put in 2 wells near the Lipsky’s they claim their well now had gas from the fracking. Lipsky claims he called the department of health and the woman that answered the phone told him to watch Gas Land, so he did.

    He then says he left a note at the Gas Land site. I am guessing they have a forum of some sort, or maybe he emailed someone involved with the mockumentary. Lipsky claims some woman there (Hope? lol) advised him on what to do next. That’s probably how he became acquainted with Alisa Rich. She performed tests of his water and air to by analyzed and she put things in motion for the EPA to become involved. Rich has a hard on (pardon my French) for Range, and that is probably the reason behind the fake video.

    Maybe Lipsky began this with the hope that he could get some money out of Range, maybe he thought they would drill him a new water well, maybe both or neither, we’ll probably never know. There is some indication that Lipsky wanted his property devalued to lower his property taxes which were $50,000 a year. Can you imagine 50k? Most people don’t make that in a year.

    I think once Lipsky’s attorney threatened Range with bad publicity it escalated the issue. Lipsky was placed in the position of dropping it or suing, and he decided or was persuaded, to sue. Now he was stuck in the grindingly slow wheels of justice. I think that’s why he expressed sorrow with watching Gas Land. He got caught up in a bunch of activist’s vendetta against fracking in general, and Range in particular.

    I have no sympathy for him.

    Read the docs I linked to, they are very interesting and enlightening. Oh, and that EPA guy that had to resign now works for The Sierra Club. No questionable relationship between activists and government, no. It’s big oil that are the crooks. You know that’s sarcasm, right?

          The EPA withdrew it because they knew they didn’t have leg to stand on.
          _________________________________________

          No.

          That’s from the EPA’s OIG report.

          The Office of The Inspector general’s review of the original EPA Order.

          Which the OIG upheld.

          And do you think this looks like a small amount of gas?

          Really? Why not actually view the link?

          Do you realize it’s been like this for nearly 5 years??

        • AndyG55 says:

          A small amount of gas.. quite normal in many areas.

          Been there since well before fracking in the area.

          and in Lipsync’s case, PROVEN by real chemical analysis to be from the Strawn seam ..

          …… NOT the Barnett.

          Just seepage from the nearby Strawn seam, probably because of water drawdown.

          Your HOPELESS attempts at showing anything else, is just a load of manufactured BS.. tantamount to FRAUD.

          Lipsync… FRAUD

          Alsia Rich.. FRAUD

          You… FRAUD.

          Thanks for keeping this in everyone’s face…
          .. you are doing the rabid anti-fracking activist groups like yours immeasurable damage, by showing just how deeply into FRAUD and LIES you are prepare to go… 🙂

        • AndyG55 says:

          Wow, a gas pipe with gas in it..

          and a small leak of gas (identified as from the Strawn seam), in the water.

          Nothing unusual in many areas., that’s why they have gas release vales etc on wells. !!

          Again, your fraudulent little films mean NOTHING, they are clearly identifiable as a fabrication.

    1- A court ruling stated that on the face of evidence presented (which has never bee overturned) Lipsky intentionally attempted to defraud the public and EPA.

    2- Desmog is funded by a convicted criminal.

    3- Even the EPA will not defend Lipsky

    4- The inept ‘scientists’ who claimed that there was ‘nearly’ a match tested the wrong isotopes.

      Yes – that is the industry funded propaganda you can not be disabused of.

      In reality the ANTI-Slapp aspect was ruled on:

      ‘The court, having reviewed the law and evidence as well as motions, briefs and arguments of the counsel of this case denies plaintiffs section 27 Anti-Slapp motion to dismiss Range’s counter claims.”

      ————————————————————
      The fossil fuel industry talking point that the TRRC is working here to protect.

      Yet there have been many many cases of water contamination since the fracking boom began:

      DEP: Water Wells Were Contaminated by Drilling 243 Times
      http://www.politicspa.com/dep-water-wells-were-contaminated-by-drilling-243-times/60091

      “n at least four states that have nurtured the nation’s energy boom, hundreds of complaints have been made about well-water contamination from oil or gas drilling, and pollution was confirmed in a number of them, according to a review that casts doubt on industry suggestions that such problems rarely happen.”
      http://bigstory.ap.org/article/some-states-confirm-water-pollution-drilling

      YOU can use the industry’s protestation that the horizontal portion of the hydrofracturing stimulation process is in no way related to drilling and is the only portion of the process that should be discussed .. but .. again, you’d be making a fossil fuel industry propaganda argument 😉

        • AndyG55 says:

          Proper chemical test have shown conclusively that the Lipsync gas is from Strawn not Barnett.

          All of the Hopeless cabal’s attempts at fraudulent videos, and other blustering are now immaterial and irrelevant.

          The EPA has backed down against this evidence, because they know their own testing was totally inadequate (admitted in court documents)

          The only people left are the lying scam artists who tried to de-fraud the system..

          And LOST !!

        • gofer says:

          It turned out that the well wasn’t contaminated at all, but contained levels of methane typical in the area and below levels that the federal government considers a threat to health. “Area residents,” Loyola writes, “had found natural gas in their water wells years before any drilling for natural gas. Some water wells were even ‘flared’ for days after drilling, to release dangerous levels of methane. One area subdivision’s water tanks warn ‘Danger: Flammable Gas.’” This naturally occurring methane explains the starkest evidence against fracking — a handful of flaming faucets in Colorado, supposedly rendered flammable by fracking. They were the stars of Gasland, the anti-fracking film by propagandist Josh Fox, who seeks to be the Michael Moore of natural gas. The state’s oil-and-gas commission issued a careful rebuttal explaining that in the area in question “troublesome amounts of . . . methane” had been documented in the aquifer SINCE 1976.

          Read more at: http://www.nationalreview.com/article/295188/epa-abuses-first-apologizes-later-mario-loyola

          Then there is that flammable gas sign on the water tanks.

          And the EPA had just lost a Supreme Court case barring them from issuing emergency orders, then begin fining without a hearing as was the case of a couple being accused of violating the Clean Water Act and wetlands by moving dirt and rock in order to build on a lot, near Priest Lake, in Idaho. They knew they would lose the Range case.

        • AndyG55 says:

          Trouble is that Hopeless’s puerile little anti-frack group is very much in league with a particular EPA official name Al Armendariz. Hope even brags about get her photo taken with her idol.

          All part of the same scam !!!
          EPA was forced to back out when a competent chemical study revealed that any gas in Lippy’s well was from the Strawn seam. and TRC reaffirmed that, “Range Resources’ Parker County gas wells did not contaminate groundwater.”

          But Hopeless and her little band of scammers still want to have another bite at the scam because their brain-washing and baseless egos are totally able to accept the REALITY of the SCIENCE before them..

        If you are talking about desmog – for the 7th time – the cite is a first source document from IPAA .> so for THAT reason, you could call the funding (IPAA) a fraud .. but I have no doubt you can;t face the truth of that cite ..

          http://bigstory.ap.org/article/some-states-confirm-water-pollution-drilling

          If you want to use the industry’s propaganda and claim that the only contamination that counts is that which can be directly proven came from the horizontal only during the stimulation process . than you can flip off all the cases .. but the people had their water ruined from drilling related practices … I call it the fracking BOOM.

          DO you deny these cases occurred?

    In response to Hope’s reply to me up above. Depositions are sworn testimony, to be used in court, and Range has the better evidence. As someone that has been a juror, and a defendant, and a witness, I think I understand how the law works.

    Deposition of Steve Lipsky as entered into evidence:

    Q-How did you come about hiring Alisa Rich at Wolf Eagle Environmental?
    A-Called back to the Health Department. The woman there told me to watch gas land, watch gas land, and then someone referred me to her and others.
    Q-And who was this woman at the Health Department?
    A-I have no idea. Whoever answered the phone at the Health Department.
    (Clarification on which health department)
    Q-When you say she told you to watch gas land, what is “gas land”?
    A-A documentary footage about problems with water wells that could light a fire.
    Q-Did you watch gas land?
    A-I’m sorry to say, yes.
    Q-Sir?
    A-Yes, I did.
    Q-After watching gas land, what did you do?
    A-Called everybody I could think of to try to find out what was wrong.
    Q-And do you recall who gave you the name of Alisa Rich, or Wolf Eagle Environment?
    A-No, I can’t remember their name.
    Q-Do you remember it was a woman that referred you to her?
    A-It was a woman, yeah, but I can’t remember her name. I haven’t talked to her for a long time.
    Q-What context did you know her?
    A-I didn’t. She–I–contacted me, again, I think through the website “gas land,” because I made a note on there. And I got referrals of numbers for EPA, railroad department; I mean everywhere. TCEQ, I mean, just attorneys, this, that. I mean, anything and everybody. Testing facility, people that do it. It was a whole list of names. And I just basically used that list and started calling.

    Continued in next post…

    • NancyG says:

      Deposition of Alisa Rich entered into evidence:

      Q-Was that part of your coursework at the University of Nebraska?
      A-No sir. That was a job.
      Q-And what job was that?
      A-I was the assistant to the director–excuse me–the department chair of dermatology.
      Q-Was that a part-time job?
      A-No, sir. No, sir. That was a full-time job.
      Q-Did you work on any environmental issues as assistant to the department of dermatology at the University of Nebraska at Omaha?
      A-We worked on cases of environmental exposure, as well as genetic exposure.
      Q-When you say we worked on cases of environmental exposure–
      A-Uh huh.
      Q-What are you talking about?
      A-Oh, the–Dr.–Dr. Bradford, who would be the lead on that, would deliver me patient records or would ask me to obtain patient records and investigate cases if there was an unusual case that was valuable in writing manuscripts. And then we published the manuscripts.
      Q-Did you publish any manuscripts with this Dr. Bradford?
      A-Yes, sir, I did.
      Q-And are you an author of any papers with Dr. Bradford?
      A-Yes, sir.
      Q-And what are those papers?
      A-Those are very difficult. It’s been a long time.
      One was investigating infantile cystic acne, and the other one was a manuscript on the lymphocyte of Jessner’s, which is a disease. And both of those, I–that is not the exact title of them. I do have them in my CV, and I believe you have a copy of that already.
      Q-Do either one of those papers have anything to do with environmental issues?
      A-I would have to review the lymphocyte of Jessner’s. I’m not sure on that one.
      The cystic–infantile cystic acne is a genetically oriented disease, so that would be no.
      Q-Other than working for the assistant to the department of dermatology and the two projects you’ve told me about at the University of North Texas, did you ever work on any other projects prior–environmental projects prior to forming Wolf Eagle–
      A-Uh huh.
      Q—in 2004?
      A-Not that I recall.
      Q-Ms. Rich, you do not have a PhD in any field of study, is that correct?
      A-No, sir. Not yet.
      Q-I’ll show you what I’ve marked as Exhibit 3 to your deposition.
      A-Yes, sir.
      Q-Have you seen this transcript before regarding statements you made to the Town of Flower Mound Oil & Gas Board of Appeals in March of 2008?
      A-Yes. In our last deposition together you presented this to me.
      Q-If you’ll look over on the third page of Exhibit 3, which is the twenty-sixth page of the transcript, do you see up at the top it says: Board Member Rich, and it says, My name is Alisa Rich, there?
      Q-Yes, sir.
      Q-And then if we move on down the page, beginning at Line 13 it says: I have a PhD. in air pollution control design.
      A-Uh huh.
      Q-Do you see that?
      A-I do, sir.
      Q-And that just was not a true statement at the time you made that, was it?
      A-That was a misstatement that I made at the time, and I have recanted that statement since then, yes, sir. I do not recall stating that, although I have a transcript in front of me that says I stated it; so I must accept that I did state that in a public meeting, yes.
      Q-And if we move on down, it says–after you said, I have a PhD. in air pollution control design, you further stated: If that does not satisfy you, I don’t know what possibly could?
      A-That’s correct.
      Q-Was that a misstatement as well?
      A-No, I don’t believe that part was a misstatement at all. We were at an oil and gas board meeting which individuals challenged the fact that many of us should be sitting on the board, based on the fact that we had absolutely no education in oil and gas. So, no, sir, I believe that that was a very honest statement. Not the part about the PhD. that was a misstatement that I’ve mentioned several times, in fact publicly in a news article, stated that if I stated that, that was a misstatement. There’s no question, sir.
      Q-Moving on down, on Line 15 of the transcript, it says: I’m a specialist in the oil and gas. Do you see that?
      A-That’s correct.
      Q-But you’ve never worked for any oil and gas company, have you?
      A-I’ve never been asked to work for any oil and gas company, no, sir.
      Q-You’ve never provided any consulting services for any oil and gas company, have you?
      A-I have never been asked to work for any oil and gas company, no, sir.
      Q-You go on to say: I am not only a specialist, I’m a consultant to oil and gas to provide the most possibly environmentally sensitive, environmentally supportive industry technology that gives the rights to the landowner, but at the same time, protects human environments as well as environmental–as well as animal environments?
      A-Correct.
      Q-You represented to the Flower Mound Oil and Gas Board of Appeals that you were a consultant to the oil and gas industry, didn’t you?
      A-No, sir. That’s not what I said.
      Q-You said that I am a consultant to oil and gas?
      A-That’s correct. Many of my mineral–many of my–many of my clients are actually in the business, and they are mineral-right owners; and they actually asked me to work with them on their oil and gas projects.
      I did not state that I am a consultant to the oil and gas industry, although I could very well be a consultant to the oil and gas industry if they would like to hire me. But they have never asked to hire me.
      Q-Did you say that you are–that many of your clients work in the oil and gas industry?
      A-They own mineral rights, and they own and work in the industry, yes.
      Q-Can you identify any of those clients that own mineral rights and also work in the oil and gas industry?
      A-There have been several along the way, yes, sir. One specifically, Mr. Steven Brock, I believe his first name is Charles. He works in the industry.
      Q-Where does he live?
      A-He lives in Montague–I’m sorry–Montague County.
      Q-Do you know what oil and gas company he works for?
      A-No, sir, I do not.
      Q-Can you identify anyone else that you say–
      A-Uh huh.
      Q—is an individual who has worked in the oil and gas industry?
      A-Mr. Robert Browder. And I believe he worked with–I can’t–I don’t know exactly right off the top of my head. He currently is in business as a mineral-right owner with Danbury, who has now sold to somebody else, and Crosstex, who may have sold as well. They change very quickly. So in the last–since January of 2011, some change has occurred on one or both of those companies. And I believe he was a linesman for one of the energy companies.
      Q-Do you know what Mr. Brock did in connection with any energy company?
      A-Mr. Brock is a–he works at one of the plants. And I’m not sure I would call him a plant manager, but he works at one of the–the plants.
      Q-What type of plant?
      A-It’s natural gas. I don’t know if it’s a processing center. That’s–I’m not exactly sure what he does there. Or what his title is there.
      Q-You weren’t giving Mr. Brock any advice about the oil and gas industry, were you?
      A-No, sir.
      Q-You weren’t giving Mr. Browder and advice about the oil and gas industry, were you?
      A-The industry per se?
      Q-Right.
      A-No. Just the issues related to their specific issue, environmental issue.
      Q-And just to be clear: You’ve never–you’ve never been a consultant to any oil and gas company in connection with anything to do with the environment?
      A-No oil and gas company has ever called my firm to employ us. Although we are and always have been available as a consultant to them if they choose to do so.
      Q-Reading on down in the transcript, on the third page of Exhibit 3, the last sentence there in that same paragraph, you state: I have a doctorate in air pollution.
      A-Uh huh.
      Q-Do you see that?
      A-I do see that.
      Q-Was that also a misstatement?
      A-Again that was done in about less than 30 seconds. The beginning of Line 13 to 21 takes less than 22 seconds to–for me to read. So I imagine it takes even less for me to actually state. Again I have stated that that has been a misstatement without a question. I have recanted those statements many times, including publicly in a news article. So we made sure that we–I was aware of the article and that it was a misstatement. And I believe I apologized for that misstatement as well. However, at the time I was in my doctorate, as I am now in my doctorate program. And I had completed all my doctorate classes, I believe, at that time as well.
      Q-But as you sit here today, you still do not have a doctorate from any institution, correct?
      A-I am one month from completing my doctorate. I am through two of the three exams for my doctorate. But as of right now, I do not have a doctorate, that is correct.
      Q-These statements in Exhibit 3 were made in March of 2008, almost three years ago–
      A-A long time ago–
      Q—correct?
      A—yes, sir.
      Q-Let’s talk a little bit about this Wolf Eagle entity that you created. As you’ve indicated, when you first formed the company, you called it Wolf Eagle Engineers and Consultants, LLC, correct?
      A-Wolf Eagle Environmental Engineers and Consultants, LLC.
      Q-You are not an engineer, are you?
      A-No, sir, I am not.
      Q-You’ve never been an engineer?
      A-No, sir.
      Q-You hold no licenses from the State of Texas or any other state as an engineer, correct?
      A-That is–that is correct, yes, sir.
      Q-You’re not a geologist?
      A-No, sir.
      Q-You’re not a geophysicist?
      A-No, I would not consider myself a geophysicist.
      Q-You’re not a petroleum engineer?
      A-I am not a petroleum engineer, no.
      Q-You’re not a medical doctor?
      A-Oh, no, sir.
      Q-You’re not a toxicologist?
      A-No, sir. Although we deal a lot in toxicology, but I am not a toxicologist.
      Q-You’re not a hydrogeologist?
      A-No, no. I am not a hydrogeologist technically. We deal a lot in hydrology, just lime we deal a lot in geology; but I would not call myself a hydrogeologist.
      Q-The Texas Board of Professional Engineers required that you remove the word “engineering” from your company name, didn’t they?
      A-No, sir, they did not.
      Q-Did you voluntarily remove the name “engineering” from your company?
      A-Yes, sir, I did.
      Q-And you voluntarily removed it after having been contacted by the Texas Board of Professional Engineers–
      A-Uh huh, uh huh.
      Q—raising questions and concerns about you using that name in your company name, correct?
      A-They had requested–they had asked if we were intending to continue to use the word “engineer” in our name, and if so, if we would comply with their–ordinances? Regulations?
      Q-Let me show you what I’ve marked as Exhibit 4–
      A-Sure.
      Q—to your deposition.
      A-Uh huh.
      Q-Is this a true and correct copy of a document that you received from the Texas Board of Professional Engineers in October of 2009?
      A-I believe it’s the cover letter, yes.
      Q-And it’s addressed to your company as it was named at the time, Wolf Eagle Environmental Engineers and Consultants?
      A-That’s correct.
      Q-And the second paragraph of the letter from the Texas Board of Professional Engineers states that: Section 1001.405 of the Texas Engineering Practice Act stipulates that business entities are prohibited from engaging–
      A-Uh huh.
      Q—in the practice of professional engineering in this state unless the entity is registered by the Texas Board of Professional Engineers. Board Rules 135.1, 135.3, 135.5, so forth and so on, provide information on the initial registration, the annual renewal, and firm compliance requirements. Do you see that?
      A-Yes, sir.

      That’s all their was. The next document is a copy of a letter signed by a judge excluding Alisa Rich as an expert witness in a case involving Scott and Rebecca Law against Range Resources.

      Alisa Rich is a liar. She may now have a doctorate, but she didn’t when she gave sworn testimony in two lawsuits even though she previously presented herself as such.

      Hope, you may be able to fool low intelligence people at some sites, but that isn’t us. And fooling a court isn’t an easy thing to do, I have every reason to believe the evidence Range supplied. So Hope, fnck off. The only trained lapdog here is you.

      • NancyG says:

        Uh, typo. Lime should be like.

      • Hope says:

        “I have every reason to believe the evidence Range supplied”
        Well said.

        Since you have reviewed the EPA’s OIG report, the testing of Duke, and the results of these findings: http://www.pnas.org/content/111/39/14076.abstract

        .. right? YOU have reviewed all the scientific data in this case .. right?

        YOu read Pecks deposition, stating the methane was not in the water when they drilled it?

        Did you read about Richter or Scott the Fire Marshall?

        WHO was the first person to set the gas in this water on fire?

        Who attached the fitting for the garden hose?

        What date did Steve first contact the EPA?

        What date does Range say Alisa sent Steve an email encouraging him to call the EPA?

        How many news outlets did Steve send that original video to?

        Since you are not a “low intelligence person” you would h=not have sided with Range without thorough research … right?

        And so you are sure that Range is justified in cooking up these conspiracy charges and suing their own water contamination victim.

        Since Range ruined the home’s water well – rendering the home sans water source, Range is entitled to $3 million on top of the other losses -including Steve’s cost to ship in water to his family every month??

        YOU have every reason to believe that .. and I could guess at what those reasons are.

        … may I start by asking – did you cut and paste this comment from the depositions themselves? Did you redo all the formatting yourself? Dedicated .. or did you find the citation elsewhere?
        —————————————————————————————
        Calling Alisa Rich a liar/fraud is a popular fossil fuel industry talking point. She was starting an environmental testing company when the fracking boom hit Texas around 2005. Industry worked hard to destroyer her, as they do with anyone who doesn’t fellate them.
        __________________________________________

        “Q-And then if we move on down the page, beginning at Line 13 it says: I have a PhD. in air pollution control design.
        A-Uh huh.
        Q-Do you see that?
        A-I do, sir.
        Q-And that just was not a true statement at the time you made that, was it?
        A-That was a misstatement that I made at the time, and I have recanted that statement since then, yes, sir. I do not recall stating that, although I have a transcript in front of me that says I stated it; so I must accept that I did state that in a public meeting, yes.
        Q-And if we move on down, it says–after you said, I have a PhD. in air pollution control design, you further stated: If that does not satisfy you, I don’t know what possibly could?
        A-That’s correct.
        Q-Was that a misstatement as well?
        A-No, I don’t believe that part was a misstatement at all. We were at an oil and gas board meeting which individuals challenged the fact that many of us should be sitting on the board, based on the fact that we had absolutely no education in oil and gas. So, no, sir, I believe that that was a very honest statement. Not the part about the PhD. that was a misstatement that I’ve mentioned several times, in fact publicly in a news article, stated that if I stated that, that was a misstatement. There’s no question, sir.”

        The Phd accusation:

        In a public meeting, in which she was accused of having no education in oil and gas, Alisa misstated her credentials – and posted a recant in a public news article.

        She never claimed to be an engineer, but had “Engineers” in the title of her company, as had an engineer on staff when she employed an engineer. .And yes, Range has her removed as an expert witness. That’s not a surprise.

        What IS a surprise to me is the length all of you will go to to prove the fossil fuel industry’s talking points … but how little research you will do on the actual case.

        If you really think Alisa is a fraud – you must not understand the hiring practices of an institution like U of T.

          “I only stated that a judge had deemed the video of the flaming water a fraud, which is a fact backed up by documentation”

          Yes .. but that is the trouble .. it is impossible to help any of you see that is untrue.

          The judge found there was enough evidence to proceed .. that’s why I posted the citation .. it was a ruling on the ANTI-SLPP aspect of the case …

          Loftin did not hear the case and find for Range …

          … he found there was enough evidence supplied by Range to allow the case to proceed.

          Can you see that?

          “After a lower court allowed Range’s lawsuit to proceed, the Second District Court of Appeals in Fort Worth ordered that court to set aside all charges except the defamation and disparagement allegations against Steve Lipsky. The court said Range provided no clear evidence that the others had conspired with him. Now, the Texas Supreme Court will weigh in, with oral arguments scheduled for Dec. 4. First Amendment lawyers, who say lower courts have inconsistently applied the law, will watch closely.”

          “”After a lower court allowed Range’s lawsuit to proceed,”

          This was Loftin’s ruling on the prima facia .. please look into it. Later these charges were overturned.. so if y’all want to go with a court ruling why not use the ruling in the writ of mandamus?

          ‘The court said Range provided no clear evidence that the others had conspired with him.”

          Have you read that finding?

          The case has never been heard. I’m sure you can see that.

        • gator69 says:

          From your NYT link…

          We deny the remainder of the relief sought by Steven Lipsky, thereby leaving pending Range’s claims for defamation and business disparagement against him

          Now who is quoting procedures! 😆

          The higher court saw fit to allow Range to proceed against Lipsky, who admitted he followed the advice of Rich, who admitted under oath that she repeatedly lied.

          Nice heroes! 😆

          So let’s recap.

          1- A court ruling stated that on the face of evidence presented (which has now been allowed to proceed) Lipsky intentionally attempted to defraud the public and EPA. Not a talking point, a court document.

          2- Desmog is funded by a convicted criminal. Not a talking point, a court document.

          3- Even the EPA will not defend Lipsky. Not a talking point, the EPA’s own words.

          4- The inept ‘scientists’ who claimed that there was ‘nearly’ a match tested the wrong isotopes. Not a talking point, but actual science.

          5- There has never been a case of contaminated well water from fracking (Lisa Jackson testimony for congress). Not a talking point but actual congressional record.

          6- Lisa Rich admitted under oath that she lied. Not a talking point, but a matter of court record.

          7- Hope is a liar (see above). Not a talking point but a verifiable fact proven on this thread.

          Hope continues to lie and smear, with nothing but known frauds and liars as references.

    • Hope says:

      I have read all of the depositions.

      If you have an admitted understand of legal proceeding, you should be able to tell us what this means:

      Can you?

      “The court, having reviewed the law and evidence as well as motions, briefs and arguments of the counsel of this case denies plaintiffs section 27 Anti-Slapp motion to dismiss Range’s counter claims.”

      Does that say the case was heard and found for Range?

      Or does it say the motion to dismiss was denied?

      Were you trying to make a certain point with this post?

      • NancyG says:

        You asked what I was reading. Even after I posted a link to what I was reading. I never said the lawsuit was over on either side. I only stated that a judge had deemed the video of the flaming water a fraud, which is a fact backed up by documentation. I said Alisa Rich was a liar, backed up by her own testimony. I said Lipsky got advice from the Gas Land site, backed up by his own testimony. The EPA backed off because they have nothing, money is no object for a government department, so you lied about that.

        I don’t know why you want to hold a public trial on this case because what any of us thinks doesn’t matter. It only matters what a jury thinks. Personally, I hope the Lipsky’s lose their house, and I hope they go after those that gave them such bad advice as to create a fraudulent video. They wouldn’t want me on the jury.

        From the legal brief:
        In 2005 (four years before Range drilled the gas wells at issue), a water well drilled in Silverado, approximately 800 feet from the Lipskys’ water well, contained so much natural gas that it forced water out of the well without any pump, and also flared gas, as shown below:7

        http://s5.postimg.org/va0079npz/image.jpg

        7 Mr. Lipsky was aware in 2005 that this water well had gas in it because he testified he saw the gas fumes.

        • AndyG55 says:

          Yep, naturally occurring gas.

          If Lipsky hadn’t tried on the Big Con, he and his group of witless gullibles wouldn’t be wasting their meaningless lives trying to defend him.

          But he let himself be talked into being greedy and to commit fraud to try to blame Range.

          Silly, silly boy.. !! He deserves what he gets for letting the anti-frack activists persuade him.

          And his followers are even sillier……. As we are all witnessing.

        • Hope says:

          You are again simply forwarding Range’s talking points.

          Again, please review the deposition from Mr Peck who drilled the well, there was no methane in the well from 2005 – 2010.

          In 2010 so much methane hit the well the well pump seized and no longer could operate.

          The well had been used for 5 years before that.

          And please remember – the EPA also found benzene.

          again, I study fossil fuel industry polemics .. and I am seeing if any manner of fact can help a person see the facts after they have believed fossil fuel industry propaganda.

Apart from that, it’s a case of he-said-she-said. So, I go with the filings and the he-said-she-said is basically a waste of time.

          The fossil fuel industry as a whole claims there has never been one case of water contamination from fracking … all cases are naturally occurring.

        • gator69 says:

          Quit lying.

          Thyne’s report relied on hydrogen and carbon isotopic fingerprinting to suggest that Range’s activities in the Barnett Shale were impacting Lipsky’s water, because the isotopic readings in the water well were similar to what is encountered in the Barnett Shale. But as geochemist Mark McCaffrey (B.A., Harvard; Ph.D., MIT) of Weatherford Labs determined in his investigation :
          “The geochemical parameter used by the EPA to determine a thermogenic origin of the Lipsky gas (e.g., the C isotopic composition of methane) does not differentiate gas in the Barnett Formation from gas in the Pennsylvanian reservoirs.” (emphasis added)
          In other words, carbon isotopic fingerprinting (which Thyne used) will not correctly determine the source of the gas; instead, nitrogen content must be used to distinguish between Barnett gas and shallower (Pennsylvanian) formation gases.

          The average nitrogen reading for the water wells was 51.99 percent. Samples of Barnett gas production data (p. 17), however, have an average of only 1.92 percent. (Not even close).

          This is consistent with the Weatherford Labs report from 2011 that proved the gas was not coming from the Barnett Shale, but rather the shallower formations from which Range Resources was not producing:

          “The natural gas component of the most recent Lipsky well headspace gas samples contains higher N2 [nitrogen] than is encountered in Barnett gas.”

          The Weatherford analysis also observed that “high N2/low CO2 samples are characteristic of gases produced from Pennsylvanian reservoirs,” referring to rock strata far shallower than the Barnett Shale.

          “Hydraulic fracturing was performed in the Barnett shale which occurs at approximately 5,700 feet below ground surface.”“The base of the aquifer and the Barnett shale are separated by approximately 5,300 feet of geological strata. Seismic reflection data submitted by Range Resources to the RRC do not show the presence of faults above the Barnett Shale beneath the neighborhood.”

          Water wells have been punctured through the aquifer into the Strawn showing the shallowness. The Barnett is over a mile deep with no geological communication pathways to the aquifer. Here is where logic should be applied. What would be the likely source? Then there is the “Warning, Flaming Gas” on the water tank.

        Many wells produce gas, gees they even build them with a gas release pipe.

        The FRAUD behind the Lipsync group is that they are trying to blame natural seepage from the Strawn seams on Range, to stop them drilling in a different seam. And you are now very much part of the FRAUD !!

        It has been SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN that the gas in Lipsync’s well is from Strawn, not from the seam that RANGE is drilling.. Where is that in your propaganda video.
        A LIE of omission is still a LIE.

        But science was never your strong suit was it Hopeless.. just FRAUD and rabid brainless LYING advocacy. Its all you have , Its all you are. Thus is your meaningless life.

          Thyne’s report relied on hydrogen and carbon isotopic fingerprinting to suggest that Range’s activities in the Barnett Shale were impacting Lipsky’s water, because the isotopic readings in the water well were similar to what is encountered in the Barnett Shale. But as geochemist Mark McCaffrey (B.A., Harvard; Ph.D., MIT) of Weatherford Labs determined in his investigation :
          “The geochemical parameter used by the EPA to determine a thermogenic origin of the Lipsky gas (e.g., the C isotopic composition of methane) does not differentiate gas in the Barnett Formation from gas in the Pennsylvanian reservoirs.” (emphasis added)
          In other words, carbon isotopic fingerprinting (which Thyne used) will not correctly determine the source of the gas; instead, nitrogen content must be used to distinguish between Barnett gas and shallower (Pennsylvanian) formation gases.

          Hopeless is so SCIENTIFICALLY IGNORANT that she doesn’t know the difference between a simple low level isotropic test which badly conducted by the EPA, and a full chemical analysis.

          ALL gas wells in the area hav gas release pipes, and guess what.. when you attach a hose to it, and light it, you get a flame as you relase it.

          But the FULL CHEMICAL ANAYLSIS shows conclusively that the gas in Lipsync’s well is from Strawn, Not from Barnett. The EPA was FORCED to back-down because of this study.

          There was a short write-up by American Bar Association. Since lawyers make money no matter who wins, they have no axe to grind and do not favor one side over the other.

          ———————–

          Lipsky v. Range Resources Corp., CV11-0798 (Dist. Ct., Parker County, Tex., Jun. 20, 2010)
          In this very contentious case, husband and wife property owners brought suit against a
          natural gas drilling company after discovering a large amount of methane gas in their water well.
          The Lipskys had drilled the water well in 2005 to provide water to their home and property. In
          2009, Range drilled two natural gas wells near the Lipskys’ property. According to the plaintiffs,
          they then began to notice problems with their water well. The plaintiffs alleged that defendants’
          Barnett Shale gas extraction activities very near to their residence had contaminated their well.
          Lipsky created a video of flames flaring from the end of a garden hose that he had connected to
          his well, claiming that the methane in the well was caused by defendants’ fracking operations.
          When it was discovered that Lipsky had connected the garden hose directly to the water well’s
          gas vent, Defendants filed a counterclaim for defamation.
          Lipsky also sought to entreat EPA’s involvement, and in December 2010, six months
          after the Lipskys filed suit, EPA issued an emergency order against Range, finding that
          hydrocarbons from Defendants’ operations may have caused or contributed to the contamination
          of the well which could be hazardous to the Lipskys’ health. EPA’s order required Range
          immediately to provide potable water to the Lipskys, to install meters to detect for explosive gas
          at their property, and to take many actions to investigate and halt leaks from the Barnett Shale
          wells. The RRC also investigated the contamination of the Lipskys’ well. After holding a
          hearing and taking testimony of several witnesses in January 2011, the RRC issued a unanimous
          decision in March 2011 that Range’s operations were not responsible for the contamination in the
          Lipskys’ water.
          10
          The RRC found that water wells in the area had contained methane gas for many years, which came from a formation thousands of feet above the Barnett Shale formation.
          The RRC concluded that hydraulic fracturing of the Barnett Shale had not caused any
          communication with the aquifer.11
          The Lipskys declined to participate in the hearing.
          Because the RRC had determined that defendants’ gas wells were not the cause of the
          water well contamination, the trial court subsequently ruled that plaintiffs lacked legal standing to
          sue. Any challenge to the RRC ruling had to be filed in Travis County, the proper venue for
          challenging RRC orders. By this time, however, the statute of limitations had expired on
          challenging the RRC’s order. Consequently, the trial court’s order had the effect of dismissing
          the plaintiffs’ claims against the defendants. The case continued against the plaintiffs, and
          plaintiffs’ environmental consultant, on Range’s counterclaims of defamation, business
          disparagement, and conspiracy under the Texas anti-SLAAP Act. Plaintiffs’ motion to dismiss
          the anti-SLAAP counterclaim was denied, and they appealed. The Second Court of Appeals
          determined that it had no jurisdiction over the interlocutory appeal but could determine the case
          by accepting the appeal as a request to seek mandamus relief.12
          The appellate court thereafter
          ordered the trial court to dismiss all claims against Lipsky’s wife and the consultant, to dismiss
          two claims against Lipsky for civil conspiracy and aiding and abetting, and left pending Range’s
          claims for defamation and business disparagement against Lipsky.13

          So the Lipskys had their court case and for a multitude of reasons basically lost. In the USA anyone can sue anyone for anything (except our own government where we need the govs permission to sue them) and there would be nothing stopping Lipsky from bringing another suit, if it weren’t for the pesky fact that there is no way he could ever win, so it would be a colossal waste of money and other peoples time. All that is pending is the defamation counter-suit against Lipsky.

          But trying to talk science with the un-named one is like trying to play chess with the unruly pigeon.

          The EPA in the Obama administration is a corrupt organization with a goal of pushing the green agenda and ending capitalism and America as we know it.

          If your story had any legs at all not only would the EPA not dropped it but they would have used every trick in the book to spread it far and wide. In addition, they certainly wouldn’t have let a single state like Texas stop them. They are a federal agency and they could have at any time not only sued Texas, but gotten the DOJ and Holder involved to make life miserable for Texans.

          They haven’t and won’t because you’re stuck on something that even the corrupt EPA doesn’t care about.

          Best to retreat and start building your commune.

          Now that Hopeless has helped bring to EVERYONE’S attention that the gas in Lipsky’s wells is NOT from the seam that Range is drilling, but is from the Strawn seam, and due to seepage, probably because Lypsky has drawn down the water too much in his greed or water on his multi-million dollar property.

          Can we close this thread?

        • Michael 2 says:

          Hope says “The SCIENCE matches the GAS TO THE BARNETT”

          There is no such thing as “the science”. Be specific. Some tests match, some do not. After all, there’s methane in your flatulence suggesting the EPA might find you guilty of something from a simple chemical test which is, after all, “the science”.

        Or do you just refuse to look at the facts?

        • gator69 says:

          Quit lying. You have been shown your claim is bogus.

          Thyne’s report relied on hydrogen and carbon isotopic fingerprinting to suggest that Range’s activities in the Barnett Shale were impacting Lipsky’s water, because the isotopic readings in the water well were similar to what is encountered in the Barnett Shale. But as geochemist Mark McCaffrey (B.A., Harvard; Ph.D., MIT) of Weatherford Labs determined in his investigation :
          “The geochemical parameter used by the EPA to determine a thermogenic origin of the Lipsky gas (e.g., the C isotopic composition of methane) does not differentiate gas in the Barnett Formation from gas in the Pennsylvanian reservoirs.” (emphasis added)
          In other words, carbon isotopic fingerprinting (which Thyne used) will not correctly determine the source of the gas; instead, nitrogen content must be used to distinguish between Barnett gas and shallower (Pennsylvanian) formation gases.

          http://energyindepth.org/national/putting-to-rest-the-silly-theories-about-parker-co/

        • gofer says:

          The average nitrogen reading for the water wells was 51.99 percent. Samples of Barnett gas production data (p. 17), however, have an average of only 1.92 percent.

          This is consistent with the Weatherford Labs report from 2011 that proved the gas was not coming from the Barnett Shale, but rather the shallower formations from which Range Resources was not producing:

          “The natural gas component of the most recent Lipsky well headspace gas samples contains higher N2 [nitrogen] than is encountered in Barnett gas.” (p. 3)

          The Weatherford analysis also observed that “high N2/low CO2 samples are characteristic of gases produced from Pennsylvanian reservoirs,” referring to rock strata far shallower than the Barnett Shale.

          “Hydraulic fracturing was performed in the Barnett shale which occurs at approximately 5,700 feet below ground surface.”“The base of the aquifer and the Barnett shale are separated by approximately 5,300 feet of geological strata. Seismic reflection data submitted by Range Resources to the RRC do not show the presence of faults above the Barnett Shale beneath the neighborhood.”

          There were water wells drilled through the aquifer into the Strawn,showing the shallowness, and the Barnett is over a mile deep with no geological path to the aquifer.

        • Hope says:

          To prove that you don’t forward fossil fuel industry propaganda .. you forward fossil fuel industry propaganda:

          “Launched by the Independent Petroleum Association of America (IPAA) in 2009, Energy In Depth (EID) is a research, education and public outreach campaign focused on getting the facts out about the promise and potential of responsibly developing America’s onshore energy resource base – especially abundant sources of oil and natural gas from shale and other “tight” formations across the country.”

          The segment featuring Thyne is on the TRRC testing, now isn’t Gator?

          Even your fossil fuel industry propaganda cant address that .. the numbers match.

          Even with the fact before you, you can’t admit the whole thing is not a hoax.

          As I have claimed all along – even if you see the wells and the methane with your own eyes, see the testing being done, see results from DUKE and the lies of Range Resources (even you are not stupid enough to think there is ZERO methane coming from that well) …

          .. that you would not be able to face the truth …

          @ Gofer “This is consistent with the Weatherford Labs report from 2011 that proved the gas was not coming from the Barnett Shale, ”

          The TRRC testing you see at the end was done in 2013.

          But the idea that nitrogen testing is more reliable is a Range Resources position.

          If you note, it’s the TRRC testing that shows the match to the Barnett,

          I have sworn depositions in front of congress, and all you have are Big Green talking points. Well trained you are! 😆

          I am so glad you have stuck around to prove the fraud of Lipsky’s claim, you have done more damage to anti-fracking movement than anyone else in history. I have two new files on this fraud thanks to you, and Range’s legal department was very pleased with the new info.

          CONGRATULATIONS! 😆

          Please keep giving us more ammo!

          I know you can;t see that all you have there is fossil fuel industry talking points.

          Of course it’s ridiculous for you to believe politicians over science …

          and in fact I do a great service to the cause of truth when I show time and again,

          those who have bought these fossil fuel industry talking points loose their ability to reason

          .. you fit that definition perfectly.

          Conservative support for these lies is destroying families .. that is what they have trained you to do.

          Come back when you have some science refuting the science you provided. 😆

          “Come back when you have some science refuting the science you provided. :lol:”

          Gator.

          Now you are babbling.

          You watch an actual test being done showing 150K ppm at Steve and at Shelly’s.

          No manner of fact can help you.

          Maybe you can never be disabused of the industry propaganda you have bought.

          Sad for these families conservatives are like this.

          Another amateurish propaganda video..

          All show, zero science.

          Yes, wells get gas in them, IDIOT, particularly when you draw water from near surface seams like Strawn. Why do you think they all have a gas release built in, and have for decades. Again, no mention of the fact that PROPER CHEMICAL ANALYSIS has shown the GAS IS NOT FROM the seam Range is drilling.

          Get over yourself, you are only important to yourself, little child.

          Your whole life’s feeble effort, and we are laughing at it.

          No wonder the poor child is so distraught. 🙂

          roflmao !!

          “All show, zero science. ” ANDY

          Isotopic testing is not science for you Andy? Ok.

          Sorry you are afflicted with bombast. It’s such a disgusting ailment .. all that mental puss leaking …..

        • AndyG55 says:

          Pity you are TOO IGNORANT to understand the difference between a basic isotopic test that showed the gas could come from either Strawn or Barnett.

          Pity you are so scientifically ignorant that you can’t even start to comprehend that the FULL CHEMICAL ANALYSIS totally exonerates the Barnett seam as being the source.

          I won’t however pity you when you find that your STUPIDITY has made Range decide to include YOU in the DEFAMATION suit against Lipsky.

          You deserve all that you get taken for 🙂

        Anyone who watched the coverage can see you’re lying .. does that not bother you?

        You helped me prove that even if you see the evidence for yourself (the numbers match the Barnett clearly) you can not be disabused of the fossil fuel industry talking points that have trained you.

        • AndyG55 says:

          The numbers of the basic testing also match Strawn..

          LYING BY OMISSION YET AGAIN, hey, Hopeless. Your m.o.

          Once proper testing was done, by someone competent (not the EPA) it was shown that the gas in Lipsync’s well came from the Strawn seam, NOT from Barnett.

          Given this TRUTH, the EPA had no choice but to withdraw the complaint. CASE CLOSED

          Its only your little group of fraudster misfits that is keeping this going, but Range will have its day in court for DEFAMATION, and I hope you are dragged in as a defendant and hit really hard, and all the fossil fuel trappings you have in your insignificant little existence taken from you.

          I am really looking forward to this DEFAMATION case, should Range proceed. 🙂

          ____________________
          And again I tell you .. ad infintum .. testing that SHOWED the MATCH was done by the TRRC.

          Thyne looks at you and SAYS BARNETT , DIRECTLY FROM THE BARNETT .. the numbers MATCH Barnett, not STrawn AND the testing talked about in the last segment was done by the TRRC.

          LOOK UP WHO THAT IS ANDY!

        • AndyG55 says:

          Geoffrey Thyne — who has done work for the ANTI-FRACKING group Earthworks in the past, and whose previous research attempting to link drilling in Colorado to degraded water quality has been DEDUNKED — made the exact same claim in January 2013, despite mounds of evidence confirming, based on geochemical FINGERPRINTING, that the gas was not originating from production wells.

          This time, Thyne was asked by WFAA to analyze the data released by the Railroad Commission last month. He concluded the composition of methane in the water wells was almost identical to what’s being produced from the Barnett Shale. Both Thyne and WFAA cite an “isotopic analysis” showing similarities between the methane, presumably establishing a link.

          But in its analysis, the Railroad Commission addressed that very concern, noting that “the isotopic signature changed in certain water wells,” and for that reason, “THE ISOTOPIC DATA ALONE DO NOT APPEAR TO BE DIAGNOSTIC OF A SPECIFIC SOURCE OF GAS ”

          When assessed for nitrogen content, however, the methane in question matches what’s also found in the shallower Strawn formation, into which several local landowners drilled their water wells. IT DOES NOT HAVE THE SAME NITROGEN CONTENT AS BARNETT SHALE GAS”

          Reviewing the data tables compiled by the Railroad Commission confirms this fact. In the “Summary of Gas Data” table (p. 15), the average nitrogen reading for the water wells was 51.99 percent. Samples of Barnett gas production data (p. 17), however, have an average of only 1.92 percent.

          This is consistent with the Weatherford Labs report from 2011 that proved the gas was NOT COMING FROM BARNETT SHALE, but rather the shallower formations from which Range Resources was not producing.

          The Weatherford analysis also observed that “high N2/low CO2 samples are characteristic of gases produced from Pennsylvanian reservoirs,” referring to rock strata far shallower than the Barnett Shale.

          Even less defensible is that Thyne completely mischaracterizes the drilling and completion process to implicate “fracking,” when clearly that process is not to blame.

          The Railroad Commission also directly refuted this possibility in a list of facts at the end of its recent report……
          •“Hydraulic fracturing is performed in the Barnett shale which occurs at approximately 5,700 feet below ground surface.”
          •“The base of the aquifer and the Barnett shale are separated by approximately 5,300 feet of geological strata. SEISMIC REFLECTION DATA submitted by Range Resources to the RRC do not show the presence of faults above the Barnett Shale beneath the neighborhood.” (emphasis added)
          …………………..
          So basically, Thyne STUFFED UP………………… AGAIN !!!

          As activists are very often bound to.
          ……………………..
          Good luck in the upcoming defamation case, because you will now be target number 2, after Lipsky. 🙂

          Do you think Lipsky will fund your lawyer, after what you have done to rake his muck back up again. 😉

  61. Hope Forpeace has earned the worker’s gratitude.

    1) She’s as capable as the Strauß.
    2) She lasted over 10 days on Steven Goddard’s blog.
    3) She can use lower and upper case interchangeably.

    That’s more professional accomplishments that Hillary Clinton.
