Climate Change is caused by greenhouse gas emissions, in particular carbon. 40% of Canada’s emissions already come from Alberta alone, not counting the entire tar sands infrastructure across North America nor counting the projected increase in tar sands production or the infrastructure built across the continent to accommodate such increases in production.

The Facts: Tar sands development

And these days, even as Canada promotes action on climate change on the world stage, the Canadian and provincial governments are pushing to expand oil sands operations—which brings substantial economic benefits to the region—in the face of a chorus of opposition from environmentalists and indigenous people. The scientific expertise of Environment and Climate Change Canada is combined with traitional Indigenous knowledge in a video series highlighting the work of wildlife biologist Phil Thomas in Alberta's oil sands region. Teck Resources Ltd's surprise decision to cancel a planned C$20.6 billion ($15.6 billion) oil sands mine in northern Alberta, citing uncertainty about Canada's climate policy, underscores a global The oil sands contribute over 60 percent of that output and are vital to the west’s economy. Canadian output continues to grow because of investments made when global supplies were tighter. The proposed pipeline is part of a US$13 billion system aimed at connecting the bituminous oil sands in Alberta, Canada with refining significantly to anthropogenic climate change. The green-circle shows the limit for all emissions, but the red and blue circles show only oil-sands related emissions, and do not include emissions from other sources such as coal burning. If the current populations of the USA and Canada burnt the 'economically viable' proven oil-sands reserve (170 billion barrels), they would achieve a per capita carbon footprint of 64 tonnes 3 . While Frontier would have been among the more efficient tar sands projects, it still would have emitted about 25 percent more climate-warming gases per barrel than the average for oil production
