Hansen to block Buffet’s coal export trains
He says he’ll get out of the way, though, when the trains approach. Sigh….....http://junkscience.com/2012/05/01/hanse ... rt-trains/

And they are going to miss their target by hundreds of kilometers.

BNSF is now sending Powder River Basin coal north through Montana, crossing into Alberta at Sweetgrass/Coutts, north on CP to Edmonton and west on CN to the coal export terminal at Prince Rupert, BC.

We know that you have canceled plans to have your utilities build coal fired power plants. Like us, we are sure you know that coal is the dirtiest of fossil fuels; when burned it produces the most global warming pollution per unit of energy. We assume you are familiar with the growing number of scientists – including NASA’s Dr James Hansen, and IPCC member Dr Andrew Weaver – who warn us that if we burn the world’s accessible coal reserves we will destroy the benign and hospitable climate that has allowed human civilization to flourish.

What we can’t understand is why you allow your railway, Burlington Northern Santa Fe, to continue shipping vast amounts of US coal out of Canadian ports to be burned in Asia. No matter where this coal is burned, it brings us closer to a climatic point of no return.

I like this.

Buffet has always had very close links to the ruling powers. Even his father was a senator.

Buffet's buddies at the top scream "global warming" and "carbon tax"at western economic activity while Buffster is sending the coal overseas.

Maybe Buffster will smarten them up a bit after this. They might even decide economic development isn't so bad after all.
