WASHINGTON, April 8 (UPI) -- A consortium of environmental groups said recent climate change alarm bells should convince Washington the Keystone XL oil pipeline is bad business.
A recent report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change warned the burning of fossil fuels was contributing to changing climate patterns. A team of advocates, including IPCC panel members, sent a letter to the White House urging President Obama to reject pipeline company TransCanada's application for the cross-border section of the pipeline.
