Tar Sands in Alberta, Canada is an oil extraction site the size of England. The local First Nation communities who live there are dying in great numbers of rare cancers and respiratory disease and are forced to move away or die. Tar Sands is the second most deforested place on the planet. It produces 4 times as many greenhouse gases as traditional oil extraction. The Royal Bank of Scotland is 83% owned by the public but it is also 'The oil and gas bank.' It has invested around £8 billion in Tar Sands. Tar Sands alone can tip the planet into runaway climate change, unless it is shut down quickly.

In the UK we have a new Cameron / Clegg Government. But like all goverments around the world they are totally beholded to corporations and banks.

corporate capitalism is slowly losing its grip on the people as an ideology. In Copenhagen during the COP15, this was apparent. Since the financial crisis, more & more people have become dissatisfied with their lot. With the failure of a good deal in Copenhagen with no binding targets and old money to help poor countries - even the planet can die as long as there is financial growth in the short term.
