Sure, you\u2019ve heard about the pipeline but you haven\u2019t yet drawn your sword and taken up the struggle. As the story has gotten increasingly complex, maybe you\u2019ve lost the plot a little. Well! Here\u2019s your chance to get up to speed and in the game with the Keystone XL to Game of Thrones converter, a sure fire way to understand who the players are in this all important battle for Westeros, er, the climate. House Lannister Joffrey Baratheon CEO Russ Girling sits on the iron throne at TransCanada, the Canadian company behind the $5.3 billion KXL project. Like King Joffrey, he likes to to be in charge but when the going gets tough he expects his minions to do the dirty work. (The King\u2019s Guard in this case threatens landowners with eminent domain, lies about jobs, and disregards climate science.). You know how the actor who plays Joeffrey is so good that you\u2019d kind of worry for his safety if he wandered into the wrong place, like a Boston bar after 10 on a night when the Sox lost? Someone might think he really is the fink known as Joeffrey and take a swing. Well, Girling must have similar fears, especially when people find out that he\u2019s willing to put profit ahead of the health of the planet. If that\u2019s not the type of dastardly deed that Joeffrey might try to pull off I don\u2019t know what is. Tywin Lannister Jack Gerard of the American Petroleum Institute and Tywin could be brothers separated at birth. Like Tywin, Jack\u2019s not afraid to beg, borrow or steal to get his way. In fact Gerard and his crew over at API, according to The Nation, spent a whopping $68 million on lobbying in 2011. Tywin has that sort of scratch now that he controls the seven kingdoms, and I\u2019m sure he\u2019d feel right at home on K St. with the thugs in their three piece Brooks Brothers suits. Man I sure hope Gerard is nicer to his son than Tywin is to my main man Lord Tyrian.&nbsp; Cersei Lannister This one\u2019s easy. Alberta Premier Alison Redford is the clear choice. Like Cersei, she\u2019s got a brother in arms that she\u2019s a little too close to--in her case Stephen Harper--and she\u2019s not afraid to splash the cash around to get her way. Redford just made her fourth lobbying trip to Washington to advocate for KXL, one of the most destructive projects on earth, all while she sings the praises of Alberta\u2019s clean energy record. It reminds me of how Cersei defends Joffrey at all times, despite the fact that the dude\u2019s favorite hobby is ordering beheadings like he\u2019s ordering a Blooming Onion at the King\u2019s Landing Outback Steakhouse. Get a grip, Cersei.&nbsp; House Stark Eddard Stark If Eddard Stark had a PhD and worked at NASA, he\u2019d be Dr. James Hansen. It was Hansen who first sounded the alarm on Keystone, laying out the case that it would be \u201cgame over for the climate\u201d if the pipeline was approved. Like Stark, who became the King\u2019s Hand with much trepidation and fear, Hansen didn\u2019t want to take on this fight but he was drawn into it out of a sense of duty. As you know, things didn\u2019t end well for old Eddard, but there\u2019s time left to win on Keystone. Winter may be coming, but it\u2019s not here yet. Jon Snow President Obama and John Snow have almost too much in common. Both are conflicted men with smoldering eyes, and their destiny is theirs to make. John Snow has found himself up North fighting off the White Walkers, a clear metaphor for Exxon if there ever was one. (The want to destroy Westeros. Duh.) John Snow wants to do what\u2019s right and has a true sense of duty, but he\u2019s got some bad temptations (Egret) that could drag him down into the muck. Obama is much the same. He wants to do what\u2019s right on climate, but his Egrets are filling his head with bad thoughts. What if the Republicans come after me for not being pro oil? What if gas prices spike and I get blamed? Get real, sir, the White Walkers are coming for you no matter what. Might as well man up, grab your sword and fight the good fight. Mr. President, the climate is your Wall. Defend it. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;","og_url":"https:\/\/world.350.org\/ja\/your-game-thrones-keystone-xl-converter\/","og_site_name":"\u56fd\u969b\u74b0\u5883NGO 350 Japan","article_publisher":"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/350japan","article_published_time":"2013-04-12T07:50:58+00:00","twitter_card":"summary_large_image","twitter_creator":"@350_Japan","twitter_site":"@350_Japan","twitter_misc":{"\u63a8\u5b9a\u8aad\u307f\u53d6\u308a\u6642\u9593":"4\u5206"},"schema":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Article","@id":"https:\/\/world.350.org\/ja\/your-game-thrones-keystone-xl-converter\/#article","isPartOf":{"@id":"https:\/\/world.350.org\/ja\/your-game-thrones-keystone-xl-converter\/"},"author":{"name":"","@id":""},"headline":"Your Game of Thrones to Keystone XL converter","datePublished":"2013-04-12T07:50:58+00:00","mainEntityOfPage":{"@id":"https:\/\/world.350.org\/ja\/your-game-thrones-keystone-xl-converter\/"},"wordCount":783,"commentCount":0,"publisher":{"@id":"https:\/\/world.350.org\/ja\/#organization"},"articleSection":["Uncategorized"],"inLanguage":"ja","potentialAction":[{"@type":"CommentAction","name":"Comment","target":["https:\/\/world.350.org\/ja\/your-game-thrones-keystone-xl-converter\/#respond"]}]},{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https:\/\/world.350.org\/ja\/your-game-thrones-keystone-xl-converter\/","url":"https:\/\/world.350.org\/ja\/your-game-thrones-keystone-xl-converter\/","name":"Your Game of Thrones to Keystone XL converter | \u56fd\u969b\u74b0\u5883NGO 350 Japan","isPartOf":{"@id":"https:\/\/world.350.org\/ja\/#website"},"datePublished":"2013-04-12T07:50:58+00:00","breadcrumb":{"@id":"https:\/\/world.350.org\/ja\/your-game-thrones-keystone-xl-converter\/#breadcrumb"},"inLanguage":"ja","potentialAction":[{"@type":"ReadAction","target":["https:\/\/world.350.org\/ja\/your-game-thrones-keystone-xl-converter\/"]}]},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","@id":"https:\/\/world.350.org\/ja\/your-game-thrones-keystone-xl-converter\/#breadcrumb","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https:\/\/world.350.org\/ja\/"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Your Game of Thrones to Keystone XL converter"}]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https:\/\/world.350.org\/ja\/#website","url":"https:\/\/world.350.org\/ja\/","name":"\u56fd\u969b\u74b0\u5883NGO 350 Japan","description":"\u6c17\u5019\u5909\u52d5\u306e\u30dc\u30e9\u30f3\u30c6\u30a3\u30a2\u6d3b\u52d5\u3068\u3044\u3048\u3070350.org\u3002\u4e16\u754c\u4e2d\u3067\u30dc\u30e9\u30f3\u30c6\u30a3\u30a2\u306e\u65b9\u3005\u304c\u300c\u6c17\u5019\u5371\u6a5f\u306e\u89e3\u6c7a\u300d\u3092\u6c42\u3081\u30e0\u30fc\u30d6\u30e1\u30f3\u30c8\u3092\u69cb\u7bc9\u3057\u3066\u3044\u307e\u3059\u3002","publisher":{"@id":"https:\/\/world.350.org\/ja\/#organization"},"potentialAction":[{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https:\/\/world.350.org\/ja\/?s={search_term_string}"},"query-input":{"@type":"PropertyValueSpecification","valueRequired":true,"valueName":"search_term_string"}}],"inLanguage":"ja"},{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https:\/\/world.350.org\/ja\/#organization","name":"\u56fd\u969b\u74b0\u5883NGO 350 Japan","url":"https:\/\/world.350.org\/ja\/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"ja","@id":"https:\/\/world.350.org\/ja\/#\/schema\/logo\/image\/","url":"https:\/\/world.350.org\/ja\/files\/2022\/03\/9rBofvu3_400x400.jpg","contentUrl":"https:\/\/world.350.org\/ja\/files\/2022\/03\/9rBofvu3_400x400.jpg","width":400,"height":400,"caption":"\u56fd\u969b\u74b0\u5883NGO 350 Japan"},"image":{"@id":"https:\/\/world.350.org\/ja\/#\/schema\/logo\/image\/"},"sameAs":["https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/350japan","https:\/\/x.com\/350_Japan","https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/350_japan\/","https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCrnuglf-keIM0krcghSrf-g","https:\/\/ja.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/350.org"]}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/world.350.org\/ja\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30113","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/world.350.org\/ja\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/world.350.org\/ja\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/world.350.org\/ja\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=30113"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/world.350.org\/ja\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30113\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/world.350.org\/ja\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=30113"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/world.350.org\/ja\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=30113"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/world.350.org\/ja\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=30113"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
