You all might also be interested in my blog on the subject in March last
year. It seems President Obama listened to me.

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?
