	Greenpeace disrupts Canada’s largest energy company
=======================================================================

Right now, daring Greenpeace activists from Canada, France, Germany and
Brazil have shut down a bitumen conveyor belt and a blocked a bridge at
the Suncor Energy site on the Athabasca River north of Fort McMurray to
expose the climate crime of the tar sands.

Live streaming video from the action is here.

Follow our brave activists as they disrupt Suncor’s production of dirty
oil and send the message that the tar sands are pushing the world to the
brink of climate hell.

Activists locked down on the bridge have erected a banner reading: “Bridge
to Climate Hell” to highlight the connections between Suncor’s open-pit
mine and bitumen conveyor belt, the company’s upgrader for producing dirty
oil and climate chaos.

Other activists have floated a banner on the Athabasca reading: “Dying for
Climate Leadership” to focus attention on the frightening disregard for
the river and the people who rely on it.

The river banner also speaks to the failure of the Canadian government and
world leaders to fight climate change.

All this action comes just two weeks after the successful Greenpeace
blockade at a Shell open-pit mine and just a week after Rajendra Pachauri,
head of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the world’s
leading body on climate science, said that Canada is failing on climate
action, and should consider putting the tar sands on hold.

Read the news release and watch for updates on the Greenpeace web site.

Today’s action supports Greenpeace’s KYOTOplus campaign to convince the
Harper government to become a leader at the United Nations climate
conference in Copenhagen in December.
