How does making life in the USA more difficult help us work on answers?

So, how does building additional infrastructure to support expanded  
fossil fuel consumption fit with what you believe?  This isn't a  
replacement fuel, it is expanded fuel consumption.

"Time left"

Global warming possibly could deliver an ice free arctic within your  
lifetime.  Some researchers see the possibility for an ice free  
arctic within five years.

So, how does the building of this project fit with reversing climate  
change?
