“Join us in demanding climate leadership”
Alberta, Canada.- “We are in the tar sands again - showing our world leaders how to take real action on climate change. Right now 23 Greenpeace activists have blocked a bridge and shut down a conveyer belt at a Suncor upgrader facility in the tar sands of northern Alberta, Canada. A live stream of the action is available here.”
“Our people will continue to occupy the bridge and conveyer belt as long as possible in order to draw attention to the lack of climate action shown by world leaders - in the wake of the New York climate meetings and G20 meeting last week.”
“People and planet are dying for climate leadership - literally. It is estimated that climate change will kill 300,000 people this year and displace millions, yet our leaders fail to act on high emission energy projects like the tar sands - which are pushing us closer towards runaway climate change.”
“Visit the live stream to watch the activists live and take action yourself - we must continue to demand leadership on climate. We must demand an end to climate crimes like the tar sands.”

Also - it is already there and there is no drilling or putting oil rigs to sea... if it is available and you can pick it off the ground.... isn't it better to use it than to ignore the existing resource and rely on the middle east for their oil?
