摘要

When Canadian-born movie director James Cameron visited his home country's tar-sands mining operation this September, he concluded: "The oil sands can be either a blessing or a curse to Alberta, depending on how they are developed." He called for better monitoring, independent research, more consideration of the needs of aboriginal groups and a slowdown of development until better technologies are developed. It seems the creator of Avatar and Titanic - movies that showcase disasters following hubris - is better able than local politicians and industrialists to see that megadevelopments often don't have rosy outcomes.rnThe debate about oil-sands extraction has become polarized, with players cast as either totally against, or for developing the sands rapidly without regard for environmental consequences. Both positions are based on very little evidence. A more moderate approach, with the pace of development based on solid environmental science, would be better in the long run.
