Keystone XL doublespeak

Today the State Department released its long-awaited report on whether the job-killing Keystone XL pipeline will worsen climate change.

According to the press, "the U.S." says the report "found" that the pipeline won't heighten climate change. But if you look at the report, that's not what it says. The study actually says this poisonous boondoggle will increase annual greenhouse gas emissions by 1.3 million to 27.4 million megatons of carbon dioxide equivalents.

The State Department contractor reviewing this project has ties to TransCanada - the company behind the pipeline - so anything they put out that supports the pipeline should be automatically rejected anyway.
