#1 So three degrees is catastrophic, but if we give complete control to Professor Sachs, he could limit the global increase to just two degrees. Over the next ninety years.

That requires a certain level of trust, which I feel Dr. Sachs has not earned. Nor any other of his ilk.

#2 Not building XL will not lower CO2 emissions, which is what the State Dept. said. Canada will extract the oil. They can pipe it to us, or they can ship it to China. The oil will get burned either way.

#4 Which is safer for the environment:
1. A pipeline that goes through a safe country and can be built according to crazy strict environmentalists guidelines.

2. Shipping crude by boat in which it has to risk the vast ocean, drunk captains, and occasional pirates while requiring oil to cross that distance and a military (and all the oil they use for war and war prep) to safeugard a lot of whackos in the countries where it is drilled in order to drill it safely in the first place.

Not really a hard choice if yo uhave any brains, except their goal is not the environment so much as removal of cheap energy and control.
