If Keystone XL is built it will facilitate the mining and burning of enough tarsands to accelerate climate change to the point of catastrophe. After getting a biased environmental impact statement from the State Dept, one that didn't even consider the detrimental effect that tarsands mining would have on climate, President Obama has put off his decision on the pipeline until after the election -- probably early next year. (Even if he loses the election, Pres Obama will still have almost two months this year and 19 days in January to be president.) The delay might have had something to do with 12,000 people encircling the White House demanding that he say no.

It seems President Obama is trying to get both sides -- the pro-pipeline movement and the anti-pipeline movement -- to hold out enough hope that he'll side with them ultimately that they'll support him. What better time than now to get him to promise that he'll say No to Keystone?
