From The Rapid City Journal: A top executive of a Canadian company that has proposed an oil pipeline from western Canada to Texas says the project will have no measurable effect on global warming.
Alex Pourbaix, TransCanada's president for energy and oil pipelines, said opponents of the proposed Keystone XL pipeline have grossly inflated its likely impact on emissions of greenhouse gases that contribute to global warming.
Pourbaix said Tuesday that Canada represents just 2 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions, and that oil sands concentrated in Alberta, where the pipeline would start, make up 5 percent of Canada's total. Pourbaix said simple math indicates that oil sands represent just one-tenth of 1 percent of greenhouse emissions.
Opponents say the pipeline would carry "dirty oil" that adds to global warming. http://rapidcityjournal.com/news/transcanada-pipeline-would-not-affect-climate/article_7ba47375-7abd-5a72-8b6b-559f8c2575dc.html
A pipeline will not contribute anything to global warming/climate change and other hoaxes Al Gore, President Obama and the others who have forced the hoax down our throats.
Build the darn thing, and with the pipeline, you will get thousands of union/high paying jobs and a lower dependence on Middle East oil.
