Some blog followers might be interested in a recent post “The President and the Pipeline” [Hake (2013)]. The abstract reads:
**********************************
ABSTRACT: Ryan Lizza, in his New Yorker article “The President and the Pipeline” at http://nyr.kr/18g0eaB, reports on the cons of the pipeline as seen by environmentalists such as James Hansen, Bill McKibben, and Tom Steyer; and the pros as seen by the Canadian government, the oil industry, and various business interests.
In “Tar Sands and Dirty Tricks,” James Hansen at http://bit.ly/1aZnA8v lauds Lizza’s article as “excellent” but points out (a) several important errors, and (b) a recent relevant article “Climate sensitivity, sea level, and atmospheric carbon dioxide” [Hansen, Sato, Russell, & Kharecha (2013) at http://bit.ly/1aat4bO (1.9 MB).

Re: Keystone XL: The Pipeline to Disaster
Some blog followers might be interested in a recent post “Re: Keystone XL: The Pipeline to Disaster” [Hake (2013)]. The abstract reads:
************************************************
ABSTRACT: In his LA Times OpEd “Keystone XL: The Pipeline to Disaster,” James Hansen at http://lat.ms/16zLDF0 wrote: “In March, the State Department gave the president cover to open a big spigot that will hitch our country to one of the dirtiest fuels on Earth for 40 years or more. . . . . A public comment period is underway through April 22, after which the department will prepare a final statement to help the administration decide whether the pipeline is in the 'national interest.'. . . . . .THE PERSPECTIVE OF PIPELINE APOLOGISTS IS CONTRARY TO THE LAWS OF PHYSICS AND BASIC ECONOMICS. . . . [[My CAPS]]. . . ., neither of which gives a damn about politics. . . . . . . . All of president Obama’s achievements will fade if he doesn’t act swiftly and decisively on climate change. Rejecting keystone is the first step.”
A day before Hansen’s OpEd appeared, Bill McKibben in “John Kerry's Fateful Decision on the Keystone Pipeline” at http://bit.ly/XsIS7X urged people to send Kerry a million public comments at http://bit.ly/16CvA9q.
