Little progress will
be made on de-carbonizing society until the constituent parts of the fossil
fuel industry are de-legitimized.
An example of our inability to see beyond the obvious is the
giving of a “Climate Leadership Award” to the company behind the construction
of pipeline integral to the worsening of the world’s carbon dioxide emissions.
The Huffington Post reports about this dilemma in a story
headed: “Keystone XL Oil Pipeline Owner Wins Climate Leadership Award”.
It reports: “The company that wants to build the Keystone XL
pipeline was recognized this week for leadership on climate change -– to the
shock of environmental activists.”
