The manner in which Alberta's oilsands are developed poses a major risk to our global climate system due its release of greenhouse gas pollution. Also at risk is our international reputation. Marlo Raynolds, presenting on behalf of the Pembina Institute at the Oilsands Multi-stakeholder session in Edmonton, explains how oilsands operations can become carbon neutral by 2020.
