These maps show the proposed growth of the tar sands, according to
announced and officially proposed mega project components of the
gigaproject. Updated from the original maps put out on OilSandsTruth.org
two years ago, the following maps were produced with the Indigenous
Environmental Network [IEN-- Canadian Indigenous Tar Sands Campaign].
Recently while speaking on the Enbridge Gateway Pipeline cutting through
the Rocky Mountains and about to enable tar sands oil super tanker
traffic on British Columbia's still mainly pristine Central Coast, Jim
Prentice (the Federal Minister for the Environment) said of future
proposed developments:
“It is a destination that will see us at the forefront of the industries
where we currently excel, oil, natural gas, pipelines, hydro electricity
and the orderly development of the oil sands.” Prentice went on to say
“We will not aggravate and already weakening economy in the name of
environmental progress.”
What does that mean?
In the time since the last pipeline continental maps, one can see new
proposed and expanded pipelines cutting this way and that across British
Columbia, proposed to splice directly to California as well as reversing
several lines to facilitate major tar sands super tanker traffic from
Maine to Philadelphia and further along the Atlantic and into the Gulf
of Mexico.
Wherever you are in North America there is probably a planned pipeline
or refinery "just for you".
These maps do not include the dozens of refineries in Canada designed or
planned to take tar sands mock oil; If the maps listed those it would be
so busy as to be unreadable.

This following map demonstrates the most recently modeled version of
what not engaging in proper response to climate change-- such as
shutting down the disastrous tar sands gigaproject-- will lead to. The
map lists flooding and temperature.
These projections have their sources cited on the map itself.
