UK Guardian Video: Canada Oilsands the 'bottom of the barrel'

...the country famed for its wilderness and clean living finds itself caught between fuelling the world's oil-hungry economy and the ecological devastation and soaring greenhouse gas emissions that exploiting the tar sands produce."

The UK Guardian has just posted a comprehensive report on Canada's oilsands operations called, Oil Sands: Canada's dirty secret. [1]

There's also a great 4-minute video by Guardian environment editor John Vidal. [2]
