Reuters: An alliance of Canadian and U.S. aboriginal groups vowed on Wednesday to block three multibillion-dollar oil pipelines that are planned to transport oil from the Alberta tar sands, saying they are prepared to take physical action to stop them. The Canadian government, faced with falling revenues due to pipeline bottlenecks and a glut that has cut the price for Alberta oil, say the projects are a national priority and will help diversify exports away from the U.S. market.

After Keystone Review, Environmentalists Vow To Continue Fight
2013-03-03 05:18:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

Obama Climate Change Vow Could Make EPA a Political Target
2013-01-24 13:06:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
National Journal: President Obamas second Inaugural Address left no doubt about his desire to put climate change front and center in his second term. Hes likely to pursue his agenda through executive actions rather than legislation, at least initially. That could put the Environmental Protection Agency at the center of a political battle, as Senate Republicans use the process of confirming a new head of the agency as a chance to weigh in on or even block what they see as regulatory overreach by the administration...
