Two years ago, retired NASA climatologist James Hansen famously stated that if we allowed the development of Keystone XL, it would be “game over” for the climate.
After a vast effort, it’s possible that that’s a fight we’re about to win, even though everyone said at the time that KXL was a done deal. But we can’t let up: KXL is still on the table, and the fossil fuel companies, desperate to mine and sell all they can before we come to our senses, have planned coal trains, shale oil terminals, and additional pipelines and tankers, in Washington and Oregon alone, that together would transport oil, gas, and coal, the combustion of which would emit nearly three times the carbon pollution of KXL. If KXL would be “game over”, what would this be?
It’s not too late to make a difference: a recent study found that “acting quickly to mitigate climate change could reduce [biodiversity] losses by 60 per cent and buy an additional 40 years for species to adapt.” We think that’s a difference worth fighting for.
Join us to draw the line and say No! to risking the health of Puget Sound. the Northwest, and the planet with a flood of fossil fuel on its way to Asia. Burned here or burned there, we all feel the heat.
