The amount of the gas in the air has not been this high for at least three million years, and scientists believe the rise portends large changes in the climate and sea level…

Earth Day, oddly, has never been a huge deal for me. I’m just a little too young to really remember its remarkable debut in 1970, when one American in 10 went out in the streets to demand action on clean air and water. That unprecedented activism laid the groundwork for the swift passage of legislation, and the almost-as-swift rehabilitation of lakes and rivers.

Anti-tar-sands protests escalated last week, aiming to block both the Keystone XL and the Enbridge Northern Gateway pipelines. In the U.S. and Canada, activists staged more than 50 actions — raucous marches, another sit-in outside the White House, and a full-on blockade of a refinery, altogether resulting in more than 50 arrests and at least one restraining order. There was even a light brigade in Tampa, Fla.!
And, marking a new front in the war, activists broadened their scope beyond oil and pipeline companies to include firms investing in tar-sands projects, like TD Bank, a major financier of Keystone. “We will demonstrate to companies bankrolling KXL that their investments are as toxic as the tar sands they want to pump through the pipeline,” the Tar Sands Blockade group said in a statement.
Great idea all around.
Most of the anti-environmentalists are devout Christians, which makes absolutely no sense to me. If you believe that God made everything for you, why wouldn’t you have look after it??
Why wouldn’t you think that when He came back, he wouldn’t go, “What the f*** did you do?! I gave this to you…mother******, are you crazy? The polar bears are BROWN. WHAT DID YOU DO?
