The approval of Enbridges pipeline proposals would mean further tar sands development that would only enrich Big Oil. For the rest of us, all we will get is irreversible climate change -- leading climate scientists agree that further tar sands exploitation would mean game over for climate. The pipelines would also destroy key habitat for salmon, bears, and other wildlife. The Enbridge pipeline will cross 1,000 streams and rivers, into First Nations land and the Great Bear Rainforest, the last intact temperate rainforest in the world. And the pipeline will spill dirty tar sands oil in pristine habitats -- during 30 days this spring, we had 13 oil spills. Worst of all, once the pipelines reaches the coast, it would mean hundreds of supertankers a year carrying more crude than the Exxon Valdez through some of the trickiest marine routes in the world.
