Birds and Canada's Tar Sands: Why America's Number 1 Source of Oil is Removing Millions of Birds Dr. Jeff Wells explains how Canada's tar sands (US' #1 source of oil, over Saudi Arabia), will likely result in millions of birds lost, where waterfowl land and die, and through habitat loss and water and air pollution. Most North American migratory birds breed in Canada, but are finding it increasingly difficult due to massive industrial projects like the tar sands.

America's New Frontier - Angola January 2005 Revenue from Angola's oil reserves should be aiding the country's development. But instead, it's being used as a slush fund for government corruption. Deep in Luanda's sewers, a group of boys show us around their home. "I'm desperate for help," begs one. "I'm eating rubbish, surrounded by others who are sniffing glue." According to the latest calculations, 9% of the country's GDP is siphoned off. Even the US ambassador admits that oil revenues are not going to "the Angolan people." Ordinary Angolans know they're being ripped off by their leaders. They're seething with resentment. In the Angolan enclave of Cabinda, this discontent has fuelled a separatist movement which has been fighting for years. With more and more Angolans asking awkward questions, there's a risk the...

As more intervention has taken place over the 20th century, people around the world have become resentful of U.S. foreign policy. This...
