20120801IMG_2145_bitumen.jpg Shell's Albian sands tar sands mine. The tar sands are the largest industrial project on the planet, and the world's most environmentally destructive. The synthetic oil produced from them is 3 times more carbon intensive than conventional oil supplies, a disaster for the climate. They are responsible for the second fastest rate of deforestation on the planet. Second only to the amazon Rainforest. They produce millions of litres of highly polluted water every day which leaches out into the Athabasca river and has serious health impacts on First Nation peoples living downstream.

20120802IMG_2517.jpg Pipeline construction work north of Fort McMurray in the heart of the Canadian tar sands. The tar sands is the world's largest industrial project and the most environmentally destructive. The pipelines carry the raw bitumen refined from the tar sands. Most of the pipelines are operated by Enron. They have an unenviable reputation when it comes to safety. Their pipelines leak on average at least once a week. There are several proposed new pipeline routes to get the oil to market in the USA, but protests meet Enron, wherever they propose to lay a new pipeline.

366W9303.jpg For the Inuit residents of Shishmaref, a tiny island between Alaska and Siberia, climate change is a double whammy. Firstly sea ice that used to envelop the island around late September is now not forming until December. this leaves the island vulnerable to storms that have already washed many houses into the sea, leading to them being referred to as the worlds first refugees from global warming. Other houses have had to be moved back from the edge. Secondly the animals they rely on as part of their subsistance existance are becoming harder to find, as they migrate further north, away from the island.

20080711_366W6273.jpg An oil fired power plant in Illulisat on Greenland. Ilulissat is a UNESCO World Heritage Site because of the Jacobshavn Glacier or Sermeq Kujalleq which is the largest glacier outside Antarctica. The glacier drains 7% of the Greenland ice sheet and produces enough water from calving icebergs in one day to provide New York with water for 1 year. Climate change has meant the glacier has speeded up and is now one of the fastest glaciers in the world at up to 40 metres per day and is also receeding rapidly

20120808IMG_0472.jpg Fort McKay water treatment plant. Fort McKay town lies downstream of the tar sands. The tar sands is the world's largest industrial project and the most environmentally destructive. Many of the residents of Fort McKay are afflicted by skin rashs or are afflicted by cancer. Studies show elevated levels of hydrocarbons and heavy metals near the mining sites. The towns drinking water contains high levels of Trihalomethanes (THM) and Halo Acetic Acids (HAA). The biggest risk from THM and HAA is cancer.

20120808IMG_5210.jpg Dr John O'connor has spent years working in First Nation communities downstream of the tar sands industry. He started to find unusual rates of rare cancers amongst the locals. One cancer in particular, Cholangio carcinoma (bile duct cancer) normally affects 1 in 100,000 people. John found 6 cases in Fort Chipewyan a community of 1200 people. When Dr O'Connor raised his concerns and a possible link to the tar sands industry, he expected the government to launch a community wide health survey. The governments reaction was to charge him with four cases of professional misconduct. 1. Engendering mistrust. 2. Blocking access to patient files. 3. Billing irregularities. 4. Raising undue alarm in the community. John spent four years fighting to clear his name and was eventually completely exonerated of all charges by the Board of Physicians of Alberta. This shot shows John with one of his patients, Clara Mercer. Clara is currently battling a rare kidney cancer and has had half of both her kidneys removed. she has lived in Fort McKay, downstream of the tar sands mines, all her life.

20120808IMG_5238.jpg Dr John O'connor has spent years working in First Nation communities downstream of the tar sands industry. He started to find unusual rates of rare cancers amongst the locals. One cancer in particular, Cholangio carcinoma (bile duct cancer) normally affects 1 in 100,000 people. John found 6 cases in Fort Chipewyan a community of 1200 people. When Dr O'Connor raised his concerns and a possible link to the tar sands industry, he expected the government to launch a community wide health survey. The governments reaction was to charge him with four cases of professional misconduct. 1. Engendering mistrust. 2. Blocking access to patient files. 3. Billing irregularities. 4. Raising undue alarm in the community. John spent four years fighting to clear his name and was eventually completely exonerated of all charges by the Board of Physicians of Alberta. This shot shows John with one of his patients, Clara Mercer. Clara is currently battling a rare kidney cancer and has had half of both her kidneys removed. she has lived in Fort McKay, downstream of the tar sands mines, all her life.
