Here is the press release for our Nature paper, released June 25, calling for a moratorium on oil sands expansion.  This means no loss of current jobs in the oil sands.  But it does mean a return to sanity from this selfish rush to accelerate global warming, ocean acidification and ecological destruction - events that will lead to huge economic and social costs according to a just-released study by the World Bank.  It does mean that we should not build new pipelines like Keystone XL, Northern Gateway, and others.
