Publisher's Summary:
TransCanadas proposed Keystone XL pipeline would carry oil extracted from Canadas tar sands all the way to refineries in Oklahoma then along the Gulf of Mexico. The proposed pipeline is very controversial, and this week the State Departments inspector general announced that he will conduct a special investigation to determine to what extent the department and all other parties involved complied with federal laws and regulations relating to the pipeline permit process. Steven Mufson has been reporting on the TransCanada pipeline for the Washington Post, and he brings us up to date on its history and controversy.
Then, Dr. Richard Muller is a prominent physicist who had been skeptical about humans role in global warming. Now, as the founder and director of Berkeley Earth Surface Temperature, Dr. Muller recently published a report that shows the earth is indeed warming. The study was funded in large part by the Charles Koch Foundation the Koch brothers are oil tycoons and deniers of global warming. Dr. Muller joins Bob to discuss the report, how the findings compared with their expectations, and the value of skepticism in science. [Broadcast Date: November 14, 2011]
