Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter joined nine other Nobel Peace Laureates in sending a strongly worded letter
to President Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry, urging them not
to approve construction of the Keystone XL Pipeline. The letter opened as follows:

define your legacy on one of the greatest challenges humanity has ever

pipeline, you are poised to make a decision that will signal either a dangerous commitment to the status quo, or bold leadership that will
inspire millions counting on you to do the right thing for our shared
climate. We stand with the 2,000,000 voices who submitted their comments
in the national interest determination process rejecting the pipeline
and ask you once again to stop Keystone XL. MORE
