Australian MP sets river on fire, blames fracking

An Australian Greens MP sets fire to a river to show what he says is the apparent impact of the coal seam gas industry and fracking operations nearby. Australian lawmaker Jeremy Buckingham is putting a lighter to a river in Queensland."Unbelievable, a river on fire," he says. "Don't let it burn the boat."He wants to show the apparent impact of the coal seam gas industry and fracking operations nearby."Sometimes a picture says a thousand words. Have a look at this, the Condamine River in South West Queensland on fire, the fracking just a kilometre away, methane coming up and now the river is alight. Unbelievable, the most incredible thing I've seen, a tragedy in the Murray-Darling Basin," Buckingham says.
