Because moderator Andrew is in London, he may feel it inappropriate to
report on what many US environmentalists see as an important likely near-term
climate victory - President Obama’s promised veto of the Keystone pipeline.
A bill has passed the US House and soon likely the same in the US
Senate. The White House Press Office has said President Obama will veto this -
despite a majority of the US electorate wanting the pipeline built. Is an
Obama veto important?
Here are two recent articles saying his veto is important:
http://grist.org/climate-energy/the-point-of-the-keystone-fight/
http://www.earthisland.org/journal/index.php/elist/eListRead/the_keystone_xl_pipeline_debate_is_right_where_we_want_it
Probably most US pundits say no - too little actual carbon involved.
I suggest this veto is important for future geoengineering discussions
as well as climate discussions. There is still hope that the US can be both a
climate and geoengineering (especially CDR/NET) leader - in Paris talks this
year.
Other thoughts?
