In these next months we need to send a signal to the White House that were not standing down. There are two things I think we should begin working on immediately.
Firstsince its clear that the polite but firm warnings of our top climate scientists arent being heardanytime that the President or Secretary of State Kerry appears in public, its crucial that we let them know that we wont accept this pipeline or the damage it will do to our climate. We need a team of rapid responders coast-to-coast who can turn around with 24 hours notice and raise a ruckus at these events when we find out about them.
If you can be on call to respond quickly when they visit near you, let us know by adding your name here: act.350.org/signup/kxl-rapid-response/.

I should also say that with our global network, both President Obama and Secretary Kerry can expect to hear from folks when they head abroad as well.
Second, we need to raise the heat this spring and summer. Significantly. To get a jump on the season, 350.org and our allies will be hosting a massive day of action and training at venues across the country in May. It will be the first muster for the grassroots army we hope will fan out across the nation this summer, and a unified statement of our intention to fight this pipeline.
If youre keen to get involved, click here to add your name as well and well get in touch about how to make it happen: act.350.org/signup/may-day-of-action/.

not the current one. Don't understand why they environmentalists aren't directing their attention/outrage out a former SOS who pushed for it, rather than a pro-Climate Change, anti-Keystone SOS.
Sorry, but that ain't right.

Methinks someone has zeroed in on a detail that at this point is immaterial.

The choice is merely how the Canadians decide to get their crude to a refinery, and it is going to happen.
