Climate Activists Call for Fracking Ban in DNC Platform
-------------------------------------------------------

Climate activists have delivered more than 90,000 petitions to the
Democratic National Committee demanding the party's platform for the
2016 race include a nationwide ban on fracking. This comes as voters in
Butte County, California, have approved a local ban on fracking, the oil
and gas drilling technique critics say threatens health and the climate.
