More Embarrassment in Copenhagen for Canada
Friday, December 11, 2009 at 12:48PM
The tar sands embarrassment came on the same day that Canada “won” Fossil of the Day awards for the fourth time from international environmental groups at the United Nations climate conference in Copenhagen.
A group of 11 Members of the European Parliament (MEP) called on the leaders of four European oil companies to stop producing oil from the tar sands.
They say in their letters: “Right now, during the climate negotiations in Copenhagen, the interest of some energy companies in this massively destructive energy source is difficult to understand. The momentum for the creation of a global low-carbon economy and turning away from fossil fuels is stronger than ever before.”
