I received this email from Credo with a petition to sign to urge President Obama not to allow the Keystone XL Pipeline. The email also includes information about daily sit-ins at the White House from August 20 until September 3. More below the squiggly thing.
Snip-
"Essentially game over" for the climate.
That's what climate scientist James Hanson calls the proposed Keystone XL pipeline -- which would carry oil out of Canada's vast tar sands oil fields to Texas, where it will be refined, then burned across the globe, dealing a catastrophic blow to our chance of returning earth to a stable climate.
This project requires a presidential permit to start building -- and it is President Obama's decision alone to grant or deny that permit. He will make the decision as soon as September.
Tell President Obama: Stop the Keystone XL pipeline.
Here's a link to the entire email, I urge you to read it and sign the petition. When I signed it I added a comment to President Obama asking him not to allow this pipeline and reminded him the decision is his alone and that he doesn't have to be "bipartisan" this time!
In addition I Googled Dr. James Hansen (looks like his name was mispelled in the article) and here is the link to the information about him.
