Climate Change – Who do we thank? DIRTY INVESTMENTS BY THE ROYAL BANK!

Posted by admin on March 24th, 2010 and filed under total oil production | No Comments »

Die-in and protest at the Royal Bank of Canada RBC Centre Branch in London, Ontario, Canada.

Raw & unedited.

The Tar Sands “Gigaproject” is the largest industrial project in human history and likely also the most destructive. The tar sands mining procedure releases at least three times the CO2 emissions as regular oil production and is slated to become the single largest industrial contributor in North America to Climate Change.

The tar sands are already slated to be the cause of up to the second fastest rate of deforestation on the planet behind the Amazon Rainforest Basin. Currently approved projects will see 3 million barrels of tar sands mock crude produced daily by 2018; for each barrel of oil up to as high as five barrels of water are used.

Since 2007 RBC Royal Bank Canada – has backed more than $16.9 billion (USD) in loans to companies operating in the tar sands—more than any other bank. Expansion of the tar sands is trampling the rights of Indigenous peoples, destroying globally significant ecosystems and significantly increasing Canadas carbon emissions.

Human health in many communities has seriously taken a turn for the worse with many causes alleged to be from tar sands production. Tar sands production has led to many serious social issues throughout Alberta, from housing crises to the vast expansion of temporary foreign worker programs that racialize and exploit so-called non-citizens. Infrastructure from pipelines to refineries to super tanker oil traffic on the seas crosses the continent in all directions to all three major oceans and the Gulf of Mexico.

The mock oil produced primarily is consumed in the United States and helps to subsidize continued wars of aggression against other oil producing nations such as Iraq, Venezuela and Iran.

The Cost of Oil: Voices from the Arctic (Trailer)

Posted by admin on December 31st, 2009 and filed under offshore oil production | 2 Comments »

This film is an outline of the effects of offshore oil production in the Arctic Ocean just off the coast of northern Alaska. The native people have lived off the land for over 2000 years using the resources provided by the ocean. The plan for offshore oil development in this region has posed a huge threat to these people’s way of life. Not only will oil drilling have an impact on their subsistence lifestyle, but their cultural heritage may also be at risk.

The film is a compilation of interviews with the native peoples living on the North Slope of Alaska and expert geophysicists, biologists, oil production specialists, environmentalists, linguists and ethnologists. These interviews have been added to footage taken from the arctic tundra of Alaska resulting in a powerful piece that shows some of the imminent danger that the world may face in drilling for oil in the dangerous Arctic Ocean.

Commodities Forecasting for 2010…. Gold, Oil and ……. Lumber????

Posted by admin on December 18th, 2009 and filed under total oil production | 12 Comments »

In this video I am comparing Gold Oil and Lumber against each other, thereby eliminating the USD for the “Value Assignment” of these Commodities. We still have to buy and sell these in USD, but it is important to have a forecast of how they might move relative to each other. By charting some “Expectations”, one has a map to navigate through the “trading and investing” landscape.
I beginning with a “Big Picture” view loosely illustrating how these commodities are inter-connected. Finally, we should understand these interconnections to “Blue Resource Marble in Space”.
It’s resilent, but fragile for human habitation….as we grow to 7, 8 and even 12 BILLION people yearning to reach higher levels of wealth, we could easily find ourselves “outstripping resources” that are either FINITE in Total Quantity or limited from a daily production rate perspective.
