[quote user="samfp1943"] To Bucyrus:.  I think that we have got a problem of agreement over the whole global warming issue.  I am extremely skeptical as to its ramifications and a real existance, and you seem to fall into another whole spectrum of belief about it. So maybe our best course is to agree to disagree(?)  [/quote] Sam,  <o:p></o:p> I think you misunderstand my point.  My viewpoint on global warming probably about the same as yours.  I certainly did not bring it up as the reason why I oppose the pipeline.  I am actually for the pipeline unless there is some obvious geophysical based flaw in the routing of it.  I only brought up global warming to clarify what I see as the objection to the pipeline.  I see the objection to the pipeline as being one small component of a much larger objection agenda.  That is the agenda against the use of fossil fuels.  And the reason there is that opposition against the use of fossil fuels is exclusively due to the theory that such use is causing the destruction of the planet through the mechanism of climate change.      <o:p></o:p> In that context, you could almost say that in shooting down the pipeline, the pipeline is actually beside the point.  The pipeline routing is beside the point.  Shipping the oil by rail as a pipeline alternative is beside the point.  In the larger perspective, the only thing that will satisfy the opposition is leaving the oil in the ground.  And in this country, the opposition is in power.  In Canada and China, they are not.
