Ed Schultz on MSNBC has lost all credibilty by prostituting himself for the XL pipeline [View all]
His reasoning is that it is for "safety". What about the loss of life to everyone who will die due to global climate change? More immediately, he does not give a hoot about the First Nations people who are already being exposed and becoming ill from the toxic emission of PAHs and heavy metals. What a racist tool! To think I used to like his show.
He had on the Sierra Club and NRDC yesterday and their appalling lack of information was almost as bad as he was. Neither one ever mentioned the health impacts on the First Nations at all. Do they not employ any environmental scientists that have done any emission calculations? It is not hard to do. USEPA AP-42 has most of the information to do emission calculations. Their act almost looked like they were tanking their answers to give way to big oil, as well.
His guests tonight did a better job, Josh Fox really stood up to Ed's baloney, as did the other gentleman, whose name I can't recall, but again they still ignore the vast quantities of carcinogens and heavy metals emitted from the tar sands. People really understand exposure to toxic pollution a lot more than they get climate change.
Plus, no one mentions the impact of the toxic emissions that will be generated from refining this crap in th Gulf Coast. Seems to me no one cares about the First Nations, the people exposed to this crap from the pipeline or the people of the Gulf that live near these refineries. Are these people all disposable? Even the environmental groups ignore the toxic exposures to these people.
Does anyone know how to contact MSNBC to complain about his racist and ignorant garbage he is spewing?
