Climate change is here. Science has shown that building the Keystone XL Pipeline will be an environmental catastrophe. Peoples from all over the world, many who are already suffering due to drought, floods and storms are also crying out and asking for leaders to wake up and change course for the benefit of life on the planet.
Mr. President, you are the first leader in our history who will be judged by what you do -- or do not do -- to protect your people from the already-begun ravages and disruptions brought about by fossil fuels.
Invest in renewable energy and begin the much needed task of educating our citizenry about climate change and start to prepare for the future with less water, food and more heat.
No to the Keystone. Yes to building a renewable future.
