Former President Jimmy Carter came out publicly against the Keystone
XL pipeline Wednesday, joining an international group of Nobel laureates
in urging President Obama to reject the project.



“You stand on
the brink of making a choice that will define your legacy on one of the
greatest challenges humanity has ever faced — climate change,” reads the
letter, which was addressed to President Obama and Secretary Kerry and which ran as an ad in Politico.



“You
know as well as we do the powerful precedent that this would set. This
leadership by example would usher in a new era where climate change and
pollution is given the urgent attention and focus it deserves in a world
where the climate crisis is already a daily struggle for so many.”
