Citing Climate Change, Obama Rejects Construction of Keystone XL Oil Pipeline

WASHINGTON — President Obama announced on Friday that he had rejected the request from a Canadian company to build the Keystone XL oil pipeline, ending a seven-year review that had become a symbol of the debate over his climate policies.

Mr. Obama’s denial of the proposed 1,179-mile pipeline, which would have carried 800,000 barrels a day of carbon-heavy petroleum from the Canadian oil sands to the Gulf Coast, comes as he seeks to build an ambitious legacy on climate change.

“America is now a global leader when it comes to taking serious action to fight climate change,” Mr. Obama said in remarks from the White House. “And, frankly, approving this project would have undercut that global leadership.”

The big sham lie continues. And so does the big liar.

[Farmer Dean]

Everyone with a brain knew it would end like this.That Marxist POS always intended to scuttle the Keystone project.

[Fungi]

An absolute and totally feckless fool on a hill exchanges fighting a fraud made to look as evil abd ignores the evil of ISIS, and on and on. This feckless fool is evil personified. Proverbs 4:27: Turn not to the right hand nor to the left: remove thy foot from evil.

Makes Buffett richer by hauling the oil by train

Where is Climate Change , even if you think oil causes climate change

Canada is still going to drill the tar sands so Obama where do you think your saving the Climate?

[butlerweave]

oil is still going to move and be used , nothing changes

[justa-hairyape]

Apparently the Progresso’s want Americans to freeze to death.

[mcshot]

What an embarrassment. Even with his history of drug abuse I’d be afraid to show my face - but it is much worse. God help us!

[Vision]

As some foreign leaders have remarked, he's not a well man.

Jane Fonda sounds climate change alarm in Toronto
The Star ^ | July 4, 2015 | Christopher Reynolds

"The climate change problem is the issue of our civilization. It will affect everything about our lives if we don't do something about it," she [Jane Fonda] says.

Here's Hanoi Jane remarking on the agenda that Obama refers to as (quote)
"The fundamental transformation of the United States of America"...

November 22, 1970 -- During a fund-raising tour for GI deserters, Vietnam Veterans Against the War and the Black Panthers, Jane Fonda is quoted in the Detroit Free Press as telling a University of Michigan audience:

"I would think that if you understood what communism was, you would hope, you would pray on your knees that we would someday become communist," and "The peace proposal of the Viet Cong is the only honorable, just, possible way to achieve peace in Vietnam."

Fonda made the following statement at the University of Texas:
"We've got to establish a Socialist economic structure that will limit private profit-oriented businesses. Whether the transition is peaceful depends on the way our present governmental leaders react. We must commit our lives to this transition ...... We should be very proud of our new breed of soldier. It's not organized but it's mutiny, and they have every right." --Karen Elliott Dallas Morning News December 11, 1971

From 1972: "I am not a do-gooder, I am a revolutionary. A revolutionary woman."

No great surprise here...

Hanoi Jane Endorses Obama
April 3, 2008

REPORTER 1: Jane, who are you voting for?

REPORTER 2: Who gets your vote?

FONDA: Obama.

REPORTER 2: Oh, my God. Heaven help us all.

RUSH: The reporter for TMZ said, "Oh, God. Heaven help us all." Obviously the reporter is an Obama supporter.

And the New York Ag is suing Exxon for lying about climate change. This governments (state and federal) are out of control.

[The Great RJ]

Canada may sell their crude oil to China where there are virtually no environmental considerations about how it gets used. Obama has a vendetta against the entire fossil fuel industry

[Tucker39]

No sweat. It will just make President Trump MORE of a hero when he approves the pipeline, and some new refineries to go with it.

[clearcarbon]

It will be very satisfying to watch everyone of comrade dictator obama’s treasonous acts undone by the next competent American president and congress.

The Kenyan is in over his head. Ask the moron what the pipeline has to do with climate change and he wouldn’t have a clue. Just another pot-smoking moron who thinks he knows it all.

[Bob434]

another kick to the groin for the country, by our dear leader- and all over a lousy LIE! The lie of ‘man-caused’ climate change is costing this country dearly- regulations, carbon taxes, fines, and now lost business-

It is simply stunning that someone who hates this country so much has NOT been challenged by the GOP one iota

[Amendment10]

Global warming politics aside, Trump evidently has a similar stance to Obama regarding doubtful benefits to USA from Keystone XL pipeline. Corrections, insights welcome.

From a 10/28/15 Trump article on this issue . . .

Trump: US needs 'better deal' before approving Keystone pipeline

[chaosagent]

As I understand it the only part of the KXL pipeline that the Fed controls is the fact that it crosses the border.

So they should just build each end right up to the border but don’t cross it. Then start running 100’s of trucks a day from the pumping station in Canada right across the border and then dump it into the pipeline in the US.

See how long everyone puts up with that before the Fed gives in and they’re allowed to insert that final piece.
