... fooling anyone so drop the fake emotional outrage over something that doesn’t exist..

How is stating that caribou warming themselves under an elevated pipeline
“Fake outrage?” It’s a fact. They like the pipeline. Want to explain further?

I remember when John Kerry said it would 10 years for one drop of oil to reach the pipe line

Only thing I ever saw up there was artic fox and mosquitos by the Billions.

I spent a year in the Kodiak Island area (and Sitkinak Island) the entire year of 1974. The mosquitos will drain your blood out in a hour during the summer. Ptarmigan is the stupidest bird ever and I don't know why they aren't extinct. Lemmings own the muskeg with tunnel systems beyond belief. Lots of fox to eat the ptarmigan and lemmings.

Not much else. Sorry for everyone's imagination of teaming wildlife.

15.6 billion barrels vs 15 billion gallons

“In the United States and throughout the oil industry worldwide, an oil barrel is defined as 42 US gallons, which is about 159 litres or 35 imperial gallons.”

I am, but that was in the 20th century in the two thousands. To my recollection

I think you’re right about the “two thousands.”

'Course that means it was in the 21st century, not the 20th . . .

[conservatism_IS_compassion]

Actually, we both know that was during the Bush43 Administration, so yes - 21st Century.

[Republican Wildcat]

They’ve been saying that for 30 years.
