They act like it's the first and only pipeline in the US.

Global warming became a cause to save life on earth before it had a chance to become good science. The belief that fossil fuel use is an emergency destroying our planet by CO2 emissions took over the media and political arena by storm. The issue was politicized so quickly that the normal scientific process was stunted. We have never had a full, honest national debate on either the science or government policy issues.
Everyone "knows" that global warming is true. The public has no idea of the number of scientists -- precisely one thousand at last count of a congressional committee -- who believe that global warming is benign and natural, and that it ended in 1998. We have not been informed of the costs to our economy of discouraging fossil fuel development and promoting alternatives. The public need to know the choices being made on their behalf, and to have a say in the matter. We are constantly told that the scientific and policy debate on global warming is over. It has just begun.
What is never discussed is this: the theory of global warming has catastrophic implications for our economy and national security. Case in point: Obama's recent decision to block the Keystone pipeline in order to placate global warming advocates. Key Democrat supporters fear the use of oil more than they care about losing jobs or our dangerous dependence on the Mideast for oil. The president delayed the pipeline by fiat, and the general public has had no say. (For the impact on our economy, see my article, "The Whole Country Can Be Rich.")
President Obama has spoken out passionately on the danger of developing oil and gas because of man-made global warming...

No, it became a cause to implement totalitarian socialism on earth.
I thought the Keystone pipeline project was cancelled because of a threat to ground water purity, not global warming.
All one has to do is look at when and by whom the ‘carbon exchanges’ were set up. The whole thing was a scam from the start. Al Goreghoul knew it from the start and played the human race for fools, just as democrats usually do.

A cause supported by Newt.

Yes and no. Part of the argument against it was that it is 'dirty' tar sands oil and extraction produces more emissions than conventional oil. China is pretty eager to get it, though.
Whatever. When you need an excuse, any one will do.
Man made global warming can solved very easily. All it takes is the right liberal. One who can convince everyone who believes in it to stop personally adding CO2 to the world. If they all held their breath for just 10 minutes the problem would be over. HT Jim Jones.
I'll say...
The American people ARE fools. Not all, but unfortunately a clear majority of us. We absolutely deserve what is happening to us.

No, actuqally, that was just a tool,they want to shut down all our energy production in the name of the enviroment, but what they really want is to shut down all our industry and destroy western civilization and put us on equal footing with the muslim countries, so there it is

The campaign-cash reality has nothing to do with the for-public-consumption excuse. The enviro nazis told Ubama to cancel the pipeline and so he did. Whatever lying, lame excuse he told the press is irrelevant.
So when the Suez Canal is shut down in the next war any day now, and gas prices go to completely unheard of levels, and a galon of milk costs about $20, we’ll see how long this green goo lasts.
