“The State Department study turns a blind eye to the ugly reality that extracting and refining dirty tar sands oil will spew into our atmosphere more and more of the greenhouse gases that cause global warming. To my mind, global warming is the most serious environmental crisis facing the world today and President Obama should block construction of the Keystone pipeline.” – Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, Jan. 31, 2014
