Global Warming Deniers, Believers Battle: Twitter War Erupts Over Keystone XL

Global warming deniers and believers alike took up the cause regarding whether or not the $5.4 billion Keystone XL oil pipeline would affect climate change, but in the end, the bill didn't make it past the Senate.

“The Keystone XL Pipeline is a proposed 1,179-mile (1,897 km), 36-inch-diameter crude oil pipeline beginning in Hardisty, Alberta, and extending south to Steele City, Nebraska,” the pipeline’s website says. “This pipeline is a critical infrastructure project for the energy security of the United States and for strengthening the American economy.”

But many people, especially environmentalists and oftentimes global warming believers, did not want the pipeline project to move forward.

Here are tweets from both believers and deniers about the Keystone XL.

@4PlayLongtime I read comments on CNN Opinion about Keystone. It's scary how many people don't believe in global warming!

VOTE NOW: Are You Concerned About Global Warming?

Q for Senate Democrats: once you go along with a vote on Keystone, are you gonna continue pretending you care about global warming? Curious.

Environmentalists trying to stop Keystone based on global warming or win symbolic victory instead need to focus on water supply, rivers.

@cspanwj Only the Global Warming Nutcases and Obama's railroad friends are opposing Keystone XL now. Unions demand jobs! #TCOT #P2

Did the president just say that the #Keystone pipeline would create Global Warming? They really think we are stupid.

Dems are seriously considering approving Keystone - which would make any attempt to stop global warming impossible - to save ONE senator.
