This is a retail thread so I will not be replying further on this.

You have proven more than once that you do not want to discuss climate change in good faith and/or have a poor understanding of the significance of it so I would agree that you should not be replying further to this.
Keep in mind I personally am not against pipelines to support current oil production output in a safe and efficient manner. It is possible to both want to support our economy and our environment, as well as supporting companies that want to see oil production significantly reduced. This "you're either with us or against us" mentality that many have in this province is idiotic.
