[QUOTE="The Other Side, post: 1310983, member: 17969"] Moreluck, you are no expert in pollution, nor do you have the first concept of potential dangers of anything from fracking to tar sands... if you did, you wouldnt make jokes about things like this.. [B][B]Indigenous populations [/B][/B] Northern Alberta, the region where tar sands oil is extracted, is home to many indigenous populations. Important parts of their cultural traditions and livelihood are coming under attack because of tar sands operations. Not only have indigenous communities been forced off of their land, but also those living downstream from tailing ponds have seen spikes in rates of rare cancers, renal failure, lupus, and hyperthyroidism. In the lakeside village of Fort Chipewyan, for example, 100 of the town’s 1,200 residents have [URL='http://www.heraldscotland.com/news/transport-environment/rbs-in-battle-with-the-cree-first-nation-over-dirty-oil-development-project-on-tribal-lands-1.1021471']died from cancer[/URL]. These problems will only get worse, unless tar sands production is halted. Investing in a new pipeline would increase the rate of production, while decreasing the quality of life for indigenous populations. - See more at: [url]http://www.foe.org/projects/climate-and-energy/tar-sands/keystone-xl-pipeline#sthash.57BXIGZg.dpuf[/url] TAR SANDS are highly dangerous and on the low end of the oil chain because its the dirtiest form of oil. Tar Sands pose a great threat to humans if it spills or a major pipeline explosion should occur. But what would you know about thinking outside the box? You only repeat what you are told. TOS.
