20120801IMG_2145_bitumen.jpg Shell's Albian sands tar sands mine. The tar sands are the largest industrial project on the planet, and the world's most environmentally destructive. The synthetic oil produced from them is 3 times more carbon intensive than conventional oil supplies, a disaster for the climate. They are responsible for the second fastest rate of deforestation on the planet. Second only to the amazon Rainforest. They produce millions of litres of highly polluted water every day which leaches out into the Athabasca river and has serious health impacts on First Nation peoples living downstream.

20120802IMG_2517.jpg Pipeline construction work north of Fort McMurray in the heart of the Canadian tar sands. The tar sands is the world's largest industrial project and the most environmentally destructive. The pipelines carry the raw bitumen refined from the tar sands. Most of the pipelines are operated by Enron. They have an unenviable reputation when it comes to safety. Their pipelines leak on average at least once a week. There are several proposed new pipeline routes to get the oil to market in the USA, but protests meet Enron, wherever they propose to lay a new pipeline.

366W9501.jpg For the Inuit residents of Shishmaref, a tiny island between Alaska and Siberia, climate change is a double whammy. Firstly sea ice that used to envelop the island around late September is now not forming until December. this leaves the island vulnerable to storms that have already washed many houses into the sea, leading to them being referred to as the worlds first refugees from global warming. Other houses have had to be moved back from the edge. Secondly the animals they rely on as part of their subsistance existance are becoming harder to find, as they migrate further north, away from the island. This shot shows a hunter returning from a hunting trip with a goose.
