Environmentalists are agreeing that this is happening and going to happen, the only question is where and how.

We don't need to burn the worst oil. We should stop burning oil.
Look at other pipelines in the US that have been abandoned and what has happened to the land owners whose families owned the land before, during and after the functional life of a pipeline. The companies that put them in doesn't just rip them up and clean up the mess.
If we burn all the oil that is in the ground in North America alone, we will blow past the urgent tipping point of carbon 4 TIMES what conservative estimates are.
