Oil drilling wastes, long buried under Canada's permafrost, leak into environment
2013-11-16 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ClimateWire: For decades, companies exploring for oil and gas in the Arctic's remote southern reaches have disposed of their drilling waste in the cheapest and most convenient way possible: by digging massive pits to hold the waste and then capping them with frozen permafrost. And for decades, the waste harmlessly sat in the frozen tombs. Then climate change, which scientists say is caused by burning fossil fuels, set in, causing the permafrost to begin melting.

The faster new pipelines are approved, the more rapid the increase in tar sands production over the next two decades, the International Energy Agency said in its annual World Energy Outlook [3], released on Nov. 12.

2013-11-08 08:40:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Globe and Mail: NDP energy critic Peter Julian led the debate on an opposition motion, saying the oil-sands pipeline - which will ship bitumen to the U.S. Gulf Coast for processing - represents yet-another example of Canada failing to extract maximum economic benefits from its resources. The Liberals have joined the Harper government in supporting the Keystone XL project. "We are simply giving away a resource without putting in place the smart economic policies that allow for the value-added jobs that need to...
