Blocking Keystone hasn't prevented Canadian oil from coming into the USA. Back in 2008, when the pipeline was proposed, the U.S. was importing 2.5 million barrels of oil per day from Canada.

Yet as we have seen time and time again, with the exception of a -0.05C cooling applied for UHI (which is woefully under-represented) all ???adjustments, improvements, and fiddlings?? to data applied by NCDC and other organizations always seem to result in an increased warming trend. | 5_1 |
