Dear SDA readers, can you tell the difference between this and a slick multimedia presentation carefully developed by an environmental group? Me neither.
Dear SDA readers, can you tell the difference between this and a slick multimedia presentation carefully developed by an environmental group? Me neither.
Might retain ones attention , if one is interested in watching paint dry.
Otherwise a waste of attention, annoying and more likely to leave one thinking of carbon boobs,, who would attempt to market such rubbish.
The article and video ,which I only watched until chapter four,”The Tar Sands” is full of outright environmentalist lies that have been disproven by real science. They had the gall to repeat the lie about the cancer rates being way higher on their Rez,which was thoroughly debunked a couple of years ago.
And the BS about “one of the world’s biggest contributors to greenhouse gas” is repeated, though THAT lie has been exposed too.
It’s a slick, expensive production, full of lies and half truths, completed by the new Chief’s assertion that because of the Tar Sands,”we can never live off the land again”!
They haven’t lived off the f***ing land in over fifty years!
So,who’s behind this,Soros, Buffet,Saudi Arabia, Russia?
There’s no place for comments at the bottom of the presentation. Cowards.
It is environmental propaganda. Who paid for it? Putin or some dirty Sheik?
Arab propaganda.
Luckily, a self solving problem. Just ignore them. Hard. ISIS will burn down the Saudi dictatorship (sorry, monarchy) in Arabia and probably the all the oil wells into the bargain.
Think how much that dirty filthy pollutionary Athabaska Oil Sand is going to be worth with the Arabs out of commission. Keystone pipeline gets built in record time, as does the one over the mountains, and a new one to the Atlantic. Maybe even a nuclear power plant for the new refineries and towns.
I’d suspect something like this behind Barry’s “foreign policy” except I don’t think the American oil companies are the ones paying him off.
Indians are chronically boring and humorless. They whine about everything until they see the money. It’s white liberals who are behind all this horse-shit … as usual.
I have taken the view that it just doesn’t matter to me … Selfishly, I am old and have had the privilege of living through the very best time and in the very best place in the history of humanity ….
now it’s winding to a close … freedom that is …. it’s what made the last half of the 20th century so grand … the freedom to do what one wished and prosper from it …
that is going away fast and it won’t be back this way for a very long time … if ever … SE Asia may have a run at it but with the pismire culture and corruption from the get go …
they won’t have even nearly what we have thrown away over the past couple of decades … that is to say .. FREEDOM and prosperity and a goodly measure of peace … I am talking North America …. the rest of the world is wogville. Nothing to see … move along.
welfare and government hand outs is now living off the land is it. The oil sands won’t interfere with that. Fact is the oil sands create tax dollars to support that, and causes gas to be produced so some can sniff it and get stupid!
I am in the same boat. Great analysis of the time of our lives. I weep for my grandkids when I see where our country is going.
The tar sands here are one of the single biggest source sites of the carbon pollution that is choking the planet.

Anyone else remember the huge volcanic explosion pictured on SDA readers tips today?
More carbon in that one explosion than the BS posted in this propaganda.
More carbon in one year from the volcanic eruptions above and beneath the oceans than the tar sands could produce in ten thousand years..

Phantom; I think you and i are on the same page. Although i do have the impression of being a generation older. Much of “the red Y?”-if I have indentified the mark correctly, is also true. However; particularly for Septuagenarians; there always seems to be a silver lining somewhere.
There are many more educated people in the world now. Both as a % and as basic number. Many more are Female which brings a civilizing edge to the future. Civilization. I do apologize for using your comment as a foil to state several items you are well aware of to make my point.
Civilization has evolved, within my understanding, to the current situation for about ten thousand years, 400 to 500 generations depending on the average age used for each generation. Ten thousand years, starting with the retreat of the last major ice age and the inception and spread of planned agriculture. Really a very short time.
Such a short time for a significant quantity of Western culture families, both as a % and a basic number to be living a lifestyle of Royalty only available to a very small number less than four generations back. Now! through technology, this number of the benefiters has become hundreds of millions.
All happening over a small number of generations. Possibly only Great, Great, Great, Grandparents for the latest generations being born now. The build-on of knowledge over a short period of time cannot be happenstance to my thinking.
Individual performance possibly a pre-determined person, through competitive effort if you prefer, or through some sort of grand intervention if this fits, showing the way.
The most significant development over the last 25 generations is possibly the development of the “rights of the individual’; however it is expressed.
It has unleashed the capability for human conceptualization to millions, a process for breakthroughs comparable to a technical breakthourh comparable to electricity. The foundation of this is the Social Contract-Hobbesian as a crude concept, if you prefer, but still far beyond Master and Slave/Servant.
The Social Contract concept is steadily being established throughout the world. It cannot be erased as easily as they, who is apperently feared by the writing here, might want to erase the concept. The course of awareness will move forward for humankind
I do not think self-interest of the individual must necessarily be the future.
If you scroll all the way to the bottom you will find a credits button and a thank you to Greenpeace. Keep in mind that any article coming from the Guardian is equivalent to the wisdom and research that could be attributed to Liz May. They have never acknowledged the fierce determination of Canadians to clean up the biggest natural oil spill in human history. Damn you, mother nature.
I notice the last sentence states the enviro native lost the election by 21 votes – implying that she was close to winning.
Further up the article is said there were only 400 people in Fort MacKay. Assuming only half of those are voting age and that it is entirely likely that only half that number voted, she was beaten something like 79 to 21 – getting less than 25% of the vote. And thus that her political position is massively unpopular in the town.
But the article is not in the least interested in truth-telling when it states facts.
The question is can we spot the difference between the two presentations. The answer is no, both are full of lies and misinformation.
Another question is, who paid for these lies?
J….. so true. the current generation will not even know what they have missed.
This is the Guardian, their readership are probably the most delusional insulated losers on the planet, who cares what the UKs least-informed, least thinking people are reading.
Could they not find one guy driving a quad that wears a helmet and use him for the promo? Got a stereotype to live up to, I guess.
