A friend tipped me off to this one.
Focused on five major areas — climate, economy, human rights, land and species, and air and water — Oil Sands Reality Check offers the facts about how these key indicators of health on the planet are affected by the tar sands. Knowing full well that “facts” can often be misconstrued, all the information on Oil Sands Reality Check was reviewed by a scientific advisory committee made up of academics, scientists, and economists. So, you can rest assured, the facts are straight.If you write about Alberta’s tar sands, major oil pipeline development (Keystone XL, Northern Gateway, Energy East), global emissions, energy policy, climate change, or ecological sustainability, this website is a fantastic resource. Every fact presented on Oil Sands Reality Check has a primary source linked to it, which is also available for more in-depth analysis.
Can’t resist posting this if it’ll work…

ahaveland,
Your photo reminded me o this recent item:
Thanks – Excellent.. and really disgusting 🙁
The RSA Channel has this video about climate change denialism in the UK. It’s long but quite informative:
A very relevant link, given that the UK government, aka “the greenest government ever” (please don’t laugh) has been caught trying to help sneak tar sands oil into the EU.
