Tar sands produce 3-5 times the carbon emissions associated with crude oil production, bad news for a low carbon economy.

We still have a chance to reverse our government’s position before the vote on 23 February.

Tell Norman Baker and Nick Clegg there is no place for dirty oil in a green European Union!
