NO. OBAMA DIDN’T JUST VETO THE KEYSTONE XL PIPELINE!
So it was particularly galling to see those two groups spreading misleading meme boxes on social media yesterday:
The Democratic Party should know better too:
They’re all just as bad as Fox News:
On the other hand …
Here are two groups that did it right, Oil Change International and 350.org. They tried to make it clear that Obama has now done one good thing — veto the Keystone bill that Congress sent him — but he still needs to take the big final step and reject the pipeline project altogether.
We get the impulse to celebrate, especially when climate wins are few and far between. (And we get that groups’ social media coordinators are anxious for lots of likes and retweets.) But breaking out the champagne before Keystone is actually dead means normal people will think they can just turn their attention back to the Kardashians. If you want to beat Keystone for real, you gotta keep the pressure on and not prematurely declare victory.
Please, people: Make your memes accurate.
