Tar Sands in Alberta, Canada is an oil extraction site the size of England. <br />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. <br />Tar Sands is the second most deforested place on the planet. It produces 4 times as many greenhouse gases as traditional oil extraction. <br />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.
