Campaigners call for government ban on fracking

The video discusses the environmental concerns related to fracking, highlighting a report urging the government to reconsider its stance. Fracking involves drilling into the Earth to release gas, which the Environmental Audit Committee argues contradicts the UK's greenhouse gas reduction goals. The government, however, believes shale development aligns with emission targets and offers financial benefits. A final Commons debate on fracking legislation is imminent.
