More than two months after methane gas began erupting into the Porter Ranch environment, Governor Jerry Brown finally declared a state of emergency, after the residents began reporting a variety of symptoms from the fumes and gas.
The Gas Company claims that the symptoms are just from odor added to the methane and it is “just temporary, it’s not a problem, it’s not serious”. Scoffing at such a claim, attorney Rex Paris retorts, “These people aren’t stupid. We have children whose noses are bleeding every day, we have people who suffer from chronic headaches [and] are nauseous every, single day. How does that not become a serious issue?”
The only way to avoid sickness, one doctor told the residents, is to get far away. But obviously the gas is not able to be contained to a zip code and it’s reach easily could be beyong the 30 miles to the city of Los Angeles, where almost 18 million people reside as of 2013, making it “the second most populous city in the United States.”

Why can’t they shut this down. The EPA I’m referring to.
Oh no….keep your liberal voting$#%&!@*in the land of fruit and nuts
Patty Taylor what is happening out there??? this is more than climate change, why is the EPA allowing these situations to continue with regards to residents and there water consumption , their health , etc. IS it their way to have a mass exit, and they just slip in and take possession of everyones homes and land?
HE OBAMA WON’T as long as this gas keeps making people sick or die…he won’t remember obama hates us… he wants us dead…
Governments plan to control water
Am I the only one to find this totally ironic? This idiot liberal state, that just passed a carbon tax bill, and is more environmentally amped up than any other state is now pumping more greenhouse gases into the atmosphere then the entire countries automobiles combined. Good Work Governor Moonbeam.
David Schwartz what did you do???
Im on my way
Don’t send those fucks out into the real world!
Throwing a match into the cloud solves everything. The cloud of methane burns off leaving only a giser of flame that is able to be fenced off till it burns out in a century or so. It truely would be an eternal flame. But it is still better than a cloud that is making everyone sick.
