Residences along the Condamine river in New Queenland, Australia have been reporting methane bubbling up from the river.
Green MP Jermey Buckingham decided to hold a grill lighter to the river for a photo op he won’t soon forget.
Buckingham was quick to blame fracking operations nearby for the methane seeping into the river and has called for the immediate ban of all fracking.
Watch the video to see the dumb ass nearly burn himself with this stunt.
The Queensland government has found no evidence that the leaking methane is any kind of safety risk. The Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIR0) had declared that the methane is coming from coal deposits under the river and is “not related to mining in the area.”
Listen to a story bout a man who’s red
rich politico who kept his family fed
then one day he was sparkin up some dube
set fire to the river and blamed it on you
methane that is…Liberal Tea
Y’all come back now, Ya Hear!
They need a plan for getting that coal out of there. Maybe a government program of some sort.
One of the things I like to see is when stupidity is painful. Too bad this only comes close, because it is so profoundly stupid to light an unknown quantity and flow rate of methane when you’re sitting right on top of it in a boat with inherently limited speed and maneuverability to escape and on top of it all have someone video record the event so the whole world, including your constituents, can see just how stupidly stupid you really are.
Hi, I’m Jermey Buckingham and welcome to JackAss.
Know whut really burns my ass?
A flame about that high!
as long as you don’t light the river on fire whats the problem? i don’t really think there is a huge problem of people accidentally and purposely trying to light water on fire. oh wait this idiot just showed the public you can? well the problem seems to be this idiot who keeps lighting the river on fire
