Urgent: Keystone XL pipeline

mercredi 7 novembre 2018 à 01:00

US citizens: file a comment against the Keystone XL planet-roaster pipeline.

Here's the comment I sent:

The Keystone XL planet-roaster pipeline is likely to do major local damage to water supplies for wildlife and for humans that live near the lakes and rivers it comes in contact with.

Even worse, it will rush the whole world towards global climate mayhem by accelerating global heating. Several years ago, scientists told us we must leave 80% of the known fossil fuel reserves in the ground. Based on newer results in climate modeling, that figure has probably increased. The first fuels to leave in the ground are the highly polluting ones, in particular tar sands oil.

Your Environmental Impact Statement is a sham and based on flawed data. You must do a proper, honest study, taking account of all the dangers; it will surely demonstrate that this pipeline should not be built.
