The Keystone pipeline is heading for a showdown, and the EPA rides to the rescue.
Here are some links:
• The pipeline goes through Nebraska, not Nevada (my bad!) Visit our friends at Bold Nebraka
• The EPA sent Mr Obama a nice note telling him that the Keystone XL pipeline will lead to a significant increase in greenhouse gas emissions. Let’s hope the President reads it before making his decisions.
• Pope Francis will address a Joint Session of Congress in September. It will be interesting to hear what he says about climate change.
• Up in Australia, Prime Minister Tony Abbott (of “Ax the tax” fame) seems to be in deep trouble.
• The Trans-Pacific Partnership treaty is coming closer, but most of the media ignore it, except for Ed.

Thanks for listening.
