Not every scientist has said that Keystone XL is "game over for the climate", necessarily(while the .4-.5*C that it could theoretically contribute certainly wouldn't be good, it's not a "end-all, be-all" type of thing either). In fact, this is a minority view held by Jim Hansen and maybe a few others.....hyperbole really isn't a good thing for waking up the masses, TBH; it may fire up some people who are already aware, but that isn't the effect that it's gonna have on most everyday Joes & Janes.

Other than that slight nitpick, good article. Really do hope we can keep this noxious bill from advancing in the Senate, though.
