Greenpeace activists comment on tar sands action

http://www.greenpeace.org
Early in the morning of September 15th 25 Greenpeace activists entered Shell's Albian tar sands operation and proceeded to blockade themselves in the cabs of two dumptrucks and one crane. They remained on the site for over 30 hours, successfully shutting down the entire operation and sending a strong message: the tar sands are a climate crime and they must be stopped.

are you stupid or what? Business is destroying the world we live in :(

I don't think that Greenpeace will close down the oil sands and I don't think they believe they will either but the oil companies and government need to be kept in check so that the environment is a consideration and I am glad the environmentalists are making that happen

HAHAHA they didn’t stop anything. They blocked one ramp the trucks just went to another part of the site and the plant kept producing, so I don’t really see what they accomplished.

We need those tar sands actually, and we need to exploit this resource.

There's no way around, too bad for those rivers getting poisoned, but whatever, just a minor side effect nobody really should care about too much I think

@ corshell Only an idiot would be proud of working in a toxic shit hole!!! And see nothing wrong with poisoning the environment in exchange for cash!!! You really are a stupid and short sighted jerk off!!! When you are diseased and disabled from the contaminated air you're breathing don't go whining to a doctor!!! They need to concentrate their time and skills helping sick children!!! Not wasting medical help on self-destructing moronic adults!!!

You are a fool!!!!!!!!!.....!!!!!!!
