Earlier today, multi-billionaire climate activist Tom Steyer called on Secretary of State John Kerry to apply climate realism and good government oversight when it comes to the State Department's late Friday, pre-Super Bowl climate bombshell release of a tainted environmental impact statement (EIS) as to the Keystone XL pipeline.

In the letter (in entirety after the fold), Steyer calls for an "independent and transparent review" of the EIS.  As a prominent example, one has to wonder how the 'business savvy' analysts writing the EIS come to such a radically different conclusion about the pipeline's importance to enabling increased tar sands exploitation compared to the CEOs of the very Tar Sands-invested Corporations.
