New Ads to Urge President Obama to Reject Oil Pipeline

[cal04]

A new television ad scheduled for broadcast on Sunday will call on President Obama to “do the right thing” to prevent climate change by rejecting the Keystone XL pipeline.

Produced and narrated by Tom Steyer, a billionaire hedge fund manager from California, the ad is the latest attempt by his political action committee to put pressure on Mr. Obama and try to counter proponents of the pipeline.

“Mr. President, you’ve had real accomplishments when it comes to fighting climate disruption,” Mr. Steyer says in the ad, which will run on broadcast television stations in Washington on Sunday and on cable networks across the country. “Let’s do the right thing on Keystone.”

“The truth? Scientists report Keystone oil would produce as much carbon pollution as 620,000 cars every year,” he says in the ad.
