"Environmental Defence just released a new report on the Alberta Oil Sands, calling it the most destructive project on Earth." Tar Sands: The Most Destructive Project on Earth

"What we know is that oil sands create a big carbon footprint. So the dilemma that Canada faces, the United States faces, and China and the entire world faces is how do we obtain the energy that we need to grow our economies in a way that is not rapidly accelerating climate change."

"Some are calling it a “smear job”, while others are applauding the National Geographic’s rather sobering 20-page publication on the Alberta tar sands, titled 'Scraping Bottom.'" National Geographic Slams Tar Sands – Canadian Politicians Pissed
