Media Mumblings

Last month UT Dallas Geosciences professor Dr. John Ferguson said the cause of the quakes in Arlington could be from natural gas drilling taking place there.

"It's possible the induced seismicity is associated with gas production. This wouldn't be unexpected by earthquake seismologists." You can read comments and more info here.

Last night, one local news channel stated the earthquakes are not being caused by drilling.

(Also, TXSharon has some good info from another qualified scientist. Good reading.)

So here is a question, do we believe the local news, or do we believe people that have studied the issues with pollutions and earthquakes such as the UT Dallas Geosciences professor and the SMU PH.D, Al Armandariz?
