Global Warming Forecasts - 2035
Methane Greenhouse Gas Emissions
2035. A nearly 4-fold increase in U.S. shale gas production forecast for 2035. The April 2011 U.S. Energy Information Administration annual energy outlook report forecasts that “domestic natural gas production will increase dramatically during the next 24 years [2011-2035], when shale gas accounts for nearly half of domestic production.” . . . The EIA 'forecasts a nearly four-fold increase in shale gas production to 26.3 trillion cubic feet in 2035 from 12.2 in 2009. The share of natural gas coming from shale will be about 47 percent in 2035, according to the report, compared with only 16 percent in 2009. The production forecast is based on estimates of about 827 trillion cubic feet of recoverable natural gas, but the EIA cautions that those numbers are 'highly uncertain' and based on ‘many assumptions.’” Shale gas forecast. Natural gas projections.

Shale gas is present across
much of the lower 48 States. The map above shows the approximate
locations of current producing gas shales and prospective shales.

We have
already reached a tipping point where we will soon see an ice-free
Arctic Ocean in the summer.
There's nothing we can do about
that. It could be in 2015. It could be in 2025. It almost doesn't
matter. It'll happen in this generation.
As a result, the whole weather system could
change. (1)
