Shale gas drilling in the UK has been given the go-ahead by MPs in a new report looking at the impact it could have on water supplies, energy security and greenhouse gas emissions. However, it will not be sufficient to meet long term emissions reductions targets and avoid the worst effects of global climate disruption.
