We are at a critical stage of the UNFCCC negotiation which will conclude in Copenhagen December this year. Looking at the state of the climate change, the result of the UNFCCC meeting in Copenhagen will have long term and serious effect on the future of humanity and many other species.

Tar sands operations are drawing an increasing amount of our domestic allotment of conventional fossil fuels (especially natural gas, commonly used for heating fuel in our extreme winter conditions) to create fuels and feedstock for export.
