Kinder Morgan Approval is an Act of Climate Denial
With a projected production level of 890,000 barrels per day, the Kinder Morgan pipeline will have the same climate impact as adding more than 30 million new cars to Canada's roads.
Meanwhile, as a signatory to the Paris Climate Agreement the country has agreed to major cuts in CO2 emissions. These cuts are now enshrined in international law.

In this conversation, grassroots climate activist Cameron Fenton of 350.org explains why, by ignoring the science and rejecting the math, the federal Liberal government's support of Kinder Morgan is playing in to a dangerous kind of climate denial.
