As usual nature comes in last when these studies are done. :-(

i have to wonder just how the projected quantum increase in tanker traffic through harrow strait is going to play out against the background of protecting the orca, an already federally listed species.

Yeah, between that and the nuclear submarine traffic heading to Bremerton further down the strait it's a tough time to be a whale . Does Alaska oil get landed in Port Angeles?

I don't think so. the tanker traffic we see is moving product from Anacortes to someplace else. big thing right now is a ship a week of raw logs headed for the Asian market.
 
I heard that California is expected to be one of the destination for the Gateway Pipeline dilbit.
That's the bad news.. For the good news....
US Groups are fighting to ban it at all their ports.
Looks like they might just win.

I think you're right about Port Angeles. But I think Cherry Point, Anacortes and three other spots in Puget Sound still land Alaska Oil.

I do see loaded tankers headed E so it could be Puget sound as the destination. I have no way of knowing where they were bound from although, come to think of it, AIS would provide that info for anyone who wants to wait and see if they can spot a tanker headed E.

Harpo et al have already WELL Proven their sheer ignorance and Dismissal of All things related to science, nature, the environment, and yes, anything related to the Endangered Species Act (Google that if you require confirmation). There is NO WAY IN HELL they will let a single Orca, or even a pod or two stand in the way of their "vision" of "where Canada is headed"... :mad:

Nog
 
just fired up an AIS app and found one of the 'polar' tankers headed for Valdez after visiting Anacortes/Cherry Point, I expect to unload at the refinery.
 
When climate change denial is preached by a former tobacco lobbyist turned oil industry promoter (Ezra Levant), you know the skeptics are getting desperate.

"So it was entirely predictable that the critics and skeptics of climate change went into overdrive when the fifth report of the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change reported last week that warming is an “unequivocal” fact, that the “observed changes are unprecedented over decades,” that oceans and atmosphere have warmed, snow and ice have diminished and sea levels have risen."

Ah yes, Ezra Levant. A commerce and and law graduate who knows so much about science, climate, and meteorological studies that he is able to show definitively that ALL the scientists who are members of the IPCC and ALL the scientists who submitted material considered by them are wrong...NOT!!!.

This mouthpiece for extreme conservatism continues to foster the delusion that climate change is a matter of opinion, to be debated and discussed in the general media by unqualified hacks like him. What he cannot get through his brain twisted by extreme ideology is that climate change is matter of science not opinion. And that science is in! HUGE quantities of evidence from measurements in weather, climate, ocean and lake sediment studies, ice cores, tree ring data, and the rocks themselves.

This man is a scourge to enlightenment, understanding and rational thought which is based on evidence and scientific data, and he should be ignored at all times.

Actually, sounds like you are talking about Suzuki...lol

Soxy, your comparison is specious and does not stand up. I challenge you to provide evidence of a publication by Suzuki that is contrary to all of the available scientific data and which denigrates the scientific community with vague denunciations of "conspiracy".
And if you think you can do that I suggest you start a new thread as it is nothing to do with this one which is about the incredible environmental foolhardiness of the Gateway pipeline and by extension its impacts on climate change.

Another funny for the challenged.
Thanks... So his logic is "look it's winter so GW is a hoax".
It boggles the mind why people would invite this guy into there living rooms.
And since him and his tv channel were rejected by the CRTC in public hearings they found another way to enter the homes through command and control from the Feds. Oh and plus get a couple bucks from everyone with cable to float their failed attempt in the "market"

Enough of derailing this thread... Why don't you start a thread on GW ... I dare you to.

Right, left or center aside ... flying continually around the world, 4
houses (one co-owned with an oil company no less) tells us a lot more
about Suzuki than the token Prius he purchased.The David Suzuki
Foundation also received donations from EnCana Corporation, a world
leader in natural gas production and oil sands development, ATCO Gas,
Alberta’s principle distributor of natural gas, and a number of pension
funds including the OPG (Ontario Power Generation) Employees’ and
Pensioners’ Charity Trust. OPG is one of the largest suppliers of
electricity in the world operating 5 fossil fuel-burning generation
plants and 3 nuclear plants. Suzuki has left a carbon footprint large
enough for a small town, the hypocrite.

http://www.c3headlines.com/2013/09/...oft-underbelly-of-consensus-scary-ignora.html

One of the world's "elite" and celebrity scientists, and a major force in global warming alarmism, provided a Twilight Zone interview (details here and here) in Australia.

That interview confirms the worst about most scientists who support the "consensus" science hyping catastrophic global warming/climate change alarmism.

David Suzuki's comments epitomize the vast majority of today's "consensus" scientists in several ways.

First, the ignorance of the actual global warming and climate change science is legendary regarding the "consensus" community, which Suzuki proved in spades. These alarmist scientists eagerly accept future climate simulations as empirical evidence, bizarrely not realizing the model output is 'simulated', not even possibly qualifying to be considered empirical evidence.


Second, Suzuki's reliance on what the "climatologists to tell us" and "wait for the IPCC report" smacks of the fanatical faith in a religion, accepting the priestly proclamations when properly delivered, instead of acting like an actual scientist who thinks about, questions and challenges the orthodox science. One immediately knows that they are listening to a fanatic when these or similar utterances are heard, and unfortunately, the majority of "consensus" scientists say the same.

Third, the fact that Suzuki does not have even possess a sliver of actual, real world climate science reveals a complete utter contempt for the public and taxpayers. It is they who will have to shoulder a multi-trillion dollar burden of changing from a fossil-fueled civilization that Suzuki and his like-minded alarmist-scientist flock proposes and demands.

As with the previous 'Today's Climate Denier-Liar-BSer' personalities, David Suzuki should not be believed or trusted regarding any statement on global warming and climate change. Objectively, anything he says is highly likely to be false. End of story.

Soxy so your logic is...
IF: Suzuki has left a carbon footprint large enough for a small town, the hypocrite.
AND: he is not a climate scientist.
THEN: GW is a hoax.
Else: I blow a fuse in my head.
(sorry to the programers out there for bad nesting)

Why don't you put some question out there like "the 16 year pause".
A cut and paste attack on someone is not the way to prove anything.
Frankly it makes you look bad.
