United Press International: The intensity of carbon dioxide emissions tied to oil sands production in Canada declined more than 20 percent, Norwegian energy company Statoil said. Stataoil published its annual oil sands report for 2012, saying it increased oil production from Canadian tar sands fields more than 60 percent while time reducing CO2 intensity. "We are proud of the results we have achieved and are encouraged to continue our efforts to reach our ambitious targets," regional Vice President for Statoil Stale Tungesvik...

Reuters: Alberta is considering a major increase in the carbon levy it charges oil producers as it seeks to show Washington that it is serious about meeting emission-reduction goals, while promoting the contentious Keystone XL pipeline to Texas refineries. Alberta Environment Minister Diana McQueen offered the levy proposal at a meeting in Calgary last week with oil executives and federal Environment Minister Peter Kent, the Globe and Mail newspaper said on Thursday. Such a move would be in line with...
Scientist Links Oil Sands to Fish Deformities, Asks Canada to Investigate

Canadian Press: A renowned Canadian scientist says there appear to be similarities between fish deformities found downstream from Alberta's oilsands and those observed after the Exxon Valdez oil spill in Alaska and Florida's Deepwater Horizon disaster. David Schindler of the University of Alberta has written two federal cabinet ministers pointing out the research similarities. He's proposing that some chemical or suite of chemicals found in crude oil may be causing the malformations, and he'd like to see Canada...

Canada: Tree death toll from climate change likely underestimated
2013-04-03 17:38:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
CBC: Climate change is likely killing more trees in the boreal forest than predicted, a new Canadian study suggests. Models that predict the impact of climate change typically assume that older forests are representative of all forests. But older forests are less vulnerable to the effects of climate change than younger forests that make up the vast majority of Canada's boreal forest ecosystems, suggests a study of Alberta and Saskatchewan forests by Yong Luo and Han Chen, forest ecologists at Lakehead...
