The tarsands industry in Alberta today is facing much the same international criticism that British Columbia's forestry industry faced in the early 1990s.
But whether Alberta's issue of the tarsands can be solved in the same way as clear-cutting in British Columbia, is hard to say. As much of an negative impact as clear-cutting may have on the environment, it's difficult to argue that the tarsands are affecting the land in the same manner.
But in every case in which industry alters the natural environment, such as the tarsands, the company or companies involved are required by their respective provincial government to have a plan for reclamation in effect prior to starting. The idea being that they will be able to return the land to it's original state or better after they are finished. And even though planted forests do not grow in exactly the same manner as natural growth forests, replanting trees is somewhat easier than cleaning up a mess like the tarsands.
In the early '90s MacMillan Bloedel, a Vancouver based forestry company which was later bought out by Weyerhauser, formed ties with their protestors that later led to a change in their practices, abandoning clear-cutting in favor of selective harvest.
And now, people are wondering whether or not Alberta and the tarsands might find success in befriending their protestors in the same way.
An article from the Globe and Mail outlines the marked history of British Columbia's forestry industry and shows ties between it and Alberta's booming oil and gas industry.
But regardless of how smart British Columbia's forestry seemed to be, they are still just an industry out to make a profit. And settling on protester's demands just isn't something that's seems that profitable. And even today, among other methods used in British Columbia, clear-cutting is still happening. And whether or not STOP (Stop tarsands operations permanently) an Edmonton-based Greenpeace activist group, would feel the same way about making an agreement with the Alberta oil barons they've been working against for so long doesn't sound hopeful. Because ultimately, the tarsands aren't the same kind of industry as forestry in terms of environmental destruction. And the companies involved are still just out to make a profit.

The global warming debate
There are some who regard it as a pressing issue and others who simply shrug it off as overreaction. But true or not, the rate at which the world's glaciers are melting makes the argument for global warming that much more convincing. Especially when it hits close to home.
British Columbia's Bridge Glacier north of Pemberton is latest glacier to be studied by environmental photographer James Balog.
Balog will be monitoring the glacier in a project called "Extreme Ice Survey," which already has cameras set up in several other locations including Alaska, Bolivia and Switzerland.
In April, Balog will be installing two cameras on the Bridge Glacier to document it's movement due to a rising global temperature. The cameras are secured to a cliffside that overlooks the glacier and are powered by a solar panel. They are set to take one picture every 30 minutes that are later stitched together like a movie to show the glacier's rate of melting. And the results make it hard to refute the encroaching presence of global warming.
But global warming has long been a debate that people are divided over. Some denying its reality and instead saying that climate change is just an attribute of a dynamic earth. And though the earth's temperature is rising (the last decade was the warmest in 130 years on modern temperature records) those who are deniers of global warming say that the global temperature rises cyclically not annually. Ultimately meaning that human influence (namely greenhouse gasses) is not the cause of the rising temperature.
And Stephen Harper's former foreign affairs minister, Maxime Bernier is one of the latest to deny global warming as a reality, calling it a crock that Canada should have no part of. The Quebec MP says that we're focused too much on our own actions and are ignoring the influence that natural factors have on the climate.
Bernier further argued that spending billions of dollars on an event we are still not entirely sure about would be simply irresponsible. But he did praise Harper's moderate policies on global warming. Though Harper has since at least recognized global warming he has failed to take a decided stance on it. And in 2002 as leader of the Canadian Alliance Party, Harper even called the Kyoto Accord a "socialist scheme designed to suck money out of wealth-producing nations."
But, despite Harper's moderate stance on global warming, unfortunately he does have a firmer stance on the issues than some other parties.
And though people continue to dither, the debate rages on. The world's glaciers are melting, sea levels are rising and we are witnessing environmental disaster more frequently now than ever before. And as Balog argues, this is all happening because of a buildup of greenhouse gasses produced by humans. And the argument of global warming is one which humans can't afford to refute anymore.
Hopefully Balog's work in British Columbia and other places around the world will help to make the reality of global warming a bigger issue in the mind's of more people.

Green jobs
The push to be green is spilling into Canada's public sector, and it's creating jobs.
The government of Canada is getting on board with the idea of being environmentally friendly, and using stimulus spending to fund the green step.
In an effort to address the growing concerns surrounding our environment, the government is creating more green jobs in the public sector. Job titles include waste management, geophysicists, soil experts and alternative power specialists among others.
Government, at all levels, is already heavily involved in the environment, whether through management, bylaw or otherwise, so funding to create more of these job opportunities is a simple decision. And as government jobs often have better job security, many environmental specialists are seeking out these new positions.
America too has seen an increase in the number of green jobs in their job market, something Obama promised from the beginning of his campaign.
And the rising demand for these environmental specialists is something that post-secondary institutions are taking notice of. Colleges and universities are gearing more courses and programs towards the growing environmental job market in an effort to steer students in the right direction.
The government's spending on the creation of new green jobs shows Canada's initiative to be a leader in addressing environmental issues. And green jobs have to potential to save both the environment and the economy.

Rejecting big oil
Canada's oil industry might be pulling out of the recession but it's losing supporters, something oil barons probably never thought would happen.
Whole Food Market and Bed Bath & Beyond, two large American companies, have decided to avoid purchasing from any suppliers who use fuel from Canada's tarsands. And though this seems like only a small move, other companies are sure to take notice of what they're doing.
The companies decisions were made in response to letters sent out by ForestEthics, an NGO that last year began campaigning the American corporate sector to steer away from using fuel from Canada's oilsands. In the summer of 2009 they sent over a hundred letters to Fortune 500 companies warning them that using Canada's oil was bad for their brand.
As Canada's tarsands have gained worldwide recognition for being among the most carbon-intensive industries in the world, the proposal of boycotting fuel made from tarsands mining is a welcomed prospect for companies trying to watch their carbon footprint.
The fuel they are boycotting is used in transporting their product, and though it only accounts for a very small amount of income for oil companies, revenue lost from Fortune 500 companies can start to add up.
Whole Food Markets replaced Marathon Oil with CountryMark, which uses oil from a conventional American oil mining company. And though Bed Bath and Beyond has not declared what change they have made yet, they have said they are not using Canada's oil any longer.
The move shows the initiative on both companies part to reduce their impact on the environment. And in a time when more people are starting to take notice of the environmental destruction happening around them, a move like this that would usually be considered bad for business could just show a positive return.

First in time, first in right
The idea of "first in time, first in right," is sort of like finders keepers. But with natural resources. And more specifically, water.
The idea first came from the Wyoming vs. Colorado U.S. Supreme Court case in 1936, and is a system of allocating water rights. It's not a new idea, but is one that has been working successfully in controlling the human use of natural fresh water resources.
In Alberta, a province that has only 2.2 per cent of Canada's fresh water, this is how the government is currently regulating the use of water by it's citizens. But now the Alberta government is considering moving to a deregulated province-wide market.
Because Alberta's in a water crisis? No.
Even though several Alberta counties declared states of emergency last year because of how dry their land was, draught isn't the reason the government is considering a switch in regulating water usage.
Alberta's population has experienced a steady climb in thanks to the booming job market. And while this has helped to put a strain on the water situation, this isn't the whole of it.
It's Alberta's growing industries that are the main cause of their impending water problem and the cause of much of Canada's carbon emissions. Oil, coal and agriculture are using more than 75 per cent of the province's fresh water. And using it at a rate so quickly that the province is working its way into a water crisis.
The deregulation that the Alberta government is considering means that big water-users will need a water license. These licenses can be bought, sold and traded. And considering all of the revenue created in Alberta's industries, the highest bidder of these licenses is not likely to be the average citizen.
Industry in Alberta is already using the majority of the province's water supply, and with this new water law, it looks like they're set to control what little fresh water there is left.

The next episode
The next big step in the effort to fight the increasing carbon emissions into the atmosphere is not to slow our carbon-intensive industries, but instead to hide it all underground.
And while the debate over whether this is necessary for Canada is ongoing, steps are already being taken towards implementing carbon capture and storage for our most carbon-intensive industries.
Royal Dutch Shell's answer to the issue is the Quest CCS (carbon capture and storage) project. An initiative designed to further the oilsands development while reducing its carbon emissions. And if approved, the project would see systems attached to two of Shell's plants near Edmonton, Alberta, that combined could reduce carbon up to 40 per cent per year (nearly 1.2 million tonnes.)
But while some see it as being the obvious answer to our ever increasing carbon emissions problem, others see it simply as an excuse to continue polluting. And while it does seem like the simplest answer to the carbon emissions it's easy to see how this is really only putting the issue on hold.
Canada's tarsands use methods of extracting oil from the ground that are up to 15 per cent more carbon intensive than conventional methods. Meaning, there's a lot more carbon produced as a byproduct and something needs to be done about it.
Shells says that "the process permanently stores CO2 underground, preventing it from dispersing into the air." But what happens underground?
Again, Shell says that "storing CO2 underground is based on geological trapping mechanisms similar to those that have naturally contained large reservoirs of oil and gas for millions of years."
Safe? Maybe. But this still seems like we're manipulating this natural system a little too far. The human ability to mimic the careful balances in nature have not proven all too successful in the past.
But as of now, Shell's Quest project is being heavily backed by both the Alberta government and the federal government, as the project could put Canada in the forefront of the world's carbon capture and storage initiatives.
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has estimated that carbon emissions need to be reduced by 20 per cent by 2020 and 50 per cent by 2050 in order to stop the rise of the global temperature. And a carbon capture and storage program looks like the perfect sidestep in actually reducing our emissions.

Dirty industry
Canada’s filthiest industry is being given a vote of confidence by one of Britain’s biggest petroleum giants. BP oil executive Tony Hayward is praising the tarsand’s at a time when Canada’s own environment minister, Jim Prentice says their image is “especially negative.”
And now BP is receiving criticism from shareholders over a decision to invest in the tarsands project, similar to criticism Royal Dutch Shell received for their recent business ventures.
British campaigning organization FairPensions is urging the oil giant to adopt "responsible investment practices." Saying that before diving into such a business venture the company needs to consider such issues as future carbon prices, regulation of greenhouse gas emissions and the risk to the company's reputation in getting involved with the dirty Canadian endeavor.
The investment is the beginning of a joint business effort with Husky Energy called the Sunrise Project, originally starting in 2007. But is now one of Canada's first major steps towards an economic revival. Up until now BP has stayed away from any tarsands involvement. But their $5.5-billion business partnership with Husky Energy is a huge step in a new direction, and one that's quickly gaining public disapproval.
But despite widespread criticism of the tarsands, Hayward is downplaying their negative environmental impact, calling it "steam assisted gravity drainage," rather than mining, and is insisting that the environmental footprint of such is much less than conventional drilling.
BP's involvement with Canada's tarsands comes just after Prentice announced during a speech to Calgary business leaders, that the industries involved in the tarsands need to start cleaning up their image within Canada as well as internationally before the world loses faith in Canada as an environmental leader.

Vancouver gets Bronze
The Vancouver 2010 Olympics are being called the greenest games ever, and not just because there is next to no snow on Cypress Mountain.
Despite falling short of gold in some areas, the David Suzuki Foundation has awarded VANOC with a bronze medal for their green efforts at the 2010 Olympics. They are being applauded for their efforts in reducing their carbon footprint. Steps they have taken in making these games a little greener include: promoting public transportation (and in some cases making it mandatory), using clean energy sources, making buildings energy efficient and offsetting carbon emissions from the event. And most of these initiatives are permanent, meaning the citizens of Vancouver can still appreciate them after the games are over.
The Vancouver Olympics came in just ahead of the Sydney games 10 years ago for their environmental initiatives. And with climate change fast on it's way to becoming the defining issue of our generation it seems like more people are getting on board with the idea of addressing it and taking action to fight it.
But it really only seems this way, as public involvement in helping to reduce greenhouse gas emissions was the low point of VANOC's scorecard, despite their efforts. So all of those self-proclaimed environmentally friendly folks out there aren't really living up to their end of the deal.
But overall, such a big event is difficult to make greener especially while the whole world is watching. But VANOC has put in the effort and at least David Suzuki recognized it.

Our very own environmental embarrassment
In early December last year, the Alberta government spent a huge amount of money on an attempt to clean up the province's oil-stained reputation. Television commercials and full page spreads in newspapers showed Alberta's Premier Ed Stelmach promoting the tarsands, an environmental disaster that has caught worldwide attention, possibly because it's now visible from space on Google Earth.
Stelmach's shameless promotion of the tarsands came conveniently just before the Copenhagen Climate Change Conference. It was a desperate attempt to redeem the appearance of the province in the eyes of the world. And whether it worked or not, the tarsands are an issue that Canada has dodged (remember those poor 500 ducks in April 2008?) again and again but is going to have to deal with sooner or later.
But it's finally starting to look like sooner.
Canada's Federal Environment Minister Jim Prentice is now calling for the cleanup of the oilsands, but only sort of.
When the United States announced their target emission reductions last Saturday, Canada did the same. Literally. Canada matched their emissions target of 17 per cent below the 2005 emissions by 2020, in line with the Copenhagen Accord, the successor to the Kyoto Accord which is set to end in 2012. But in doing so, Canada actually dropped their original target, which was 20 per cent below the 2006 emissions. Creating a little more room to pollute and a little less of a reason to start the oilsands cleanup any sooner.
And right now Canada isn't taking any steps in cleaning up the oilsands ... at least not until America does first. Prentice says that until the United States announces new measures on climate change Canada won't do anything. And as far as any sort of cap-and-trade system (an emissions restriction with flexibility in how countries comply) goes, again Canada won't adopt anything until the States does as it could be harmful to international trade.
So despite the scrutiny that the tarsands has come under, it looks like not much is going to be done until the United States decides that it's time to act. And even though the tarsands has become Canada's biggest environmental disaster and the tailing ponds are now actually considered one of the biggest man-made structures on earth, even though Canada should be taking responsibility in cleaning them up, why not wait?
