According to one of the world’s leading climatologists, NASA’s James Hansen, the tar sands are a “climate bomb” which if allowed to reach its full potential means “game over for the climate.” The XL pipeline is the fuse to that bomb. It is critical to our future that this bomb not go off. The fossil fuel industry has spent $146 million convincing the public to ignore this issue.

Mar 01 2013, 3:39 PM He was a bold man who first ate an oyster. -- Jonathan Swift “Be bold! Be daring!” has been my husband’s mantra to me throughout our 31 years of marriage. But such encouragement started long before that. If I think way back I recall Matt calling out those words from a floating dock.
