During the drilling and fracking processes, methane, a potent greenhouse gas, can escape into the atmosphere. This contributes to climate change and negates some of the benefits of using natural gas, which has lower carbon emissions than coal or oil. Induced seismicity, or human-caused earthquakes, presents another risk.
