Canadian oil sands industry threatens millions of birds: study
Posted by:3dc

#1  This is some true dart throwing here:
22-170 million birds breed there
8000 - 100000 birds oiled annually
166 million to die over 30-50 years; how does that 5.5 million dead per year compare to the other 16.5-164.5 million who do reproduce?

I'm not gonna say that recovory from oil sands are spic and span but it is Canada it will be done as cleanly as possible as opposed to say, chinese rigs off cuba or hugonauts drilling off venezuela. Articles like this are responsible for over 26486g153148xd434151*687 brain cell deaths annually.
