MR. COHEN
YOU FIRST HAVE TO CONSIDER THE OPINION OF THE WORLD'S UNDISPUTED FOREMOST CLIMATOLOGIST. DR. JAMES HANSON, THE GURU ON THIS SUBJECT. BETTY CROCKER, GOOD HOUSEKEEPING SEAL. ONE OF THE FIRST SCIENTISTS TO WARN OF THE DANGERS OF BURNING CARBON FUEL. DR. HANSON IS THE MEMBER OF THE NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES AND HE LIKES THE KEYSTONE X.L. PIPELINE TO THE TUESDAY OF THE BIGGEST CARBON BOMB ON THE PLANET AND NOTHING LESS. THE FUSE TO THE BIGGEST CARBON BOMB ON THE PLANET. THAT'S DR. HANSON. DR. HANSON'S WARN THE COMPLETION OF THIS PIPELINE WILL ONLY REINFORCE OUR DEPENDENCE ON FOSSIL FUELS, NOT STRENGTHEN OUR NATION'S ENERGY INDEPENDENCE, AS HAS BEEN ARGUED BY SOME OF OUR FRIENDS ON THE OTHER SIDE. WHEN YOU BRUSH ASIDE THE STUDIES FUNDED BY TRANSCANADA AND OTHER OIL COMPANIES AND YOU ANALYZE THE PURE SCIENTIFIC STUDIES THAT HAVE NO POLITICAL MOTIVATION, EVERY ANALYSIS CLEARLY DEMONSTRATES THE KEYSTONE X.L. PIPELINE POSES MAJOR THREATS AT EVERY TURN IN EXTRACTION, IN TRANSPORTATION, IN REFINING AND IN CONSUMPTION. NATIONWIDE, ABOUT 3.2 MILLION GALLONS OF OIL SPILL FROM PIPELINES EVERY YEAR.
