Even if fracking wasn't any more harmful than other methods of fossil fuel extraction, it's still bad because we should be trying to curb fossil fuel consumption, not encourage it.
The fracking process, and the methods of transporting and refining the gas, leads to large amounts of methane leaking into the atmosphere. Methane is many times more potent as a greenhouse gas than CO2.
