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.
