In the world of globalization, the fossil fuel masters of the universe who are digging up our boreal forest and our muskeg and scraping out the bitumen would rather have Canadians take all the risks - and then the oceans take the risks to ship it to refineries that they've already built in other countries rather than create jobs for Canadians here.

Before you rip off three feet of toilet paper, consider that each year 500,000 acres of virgin boreal forest in northern Alberta and Ontario are being clear-cut to make the stuff.

Use 'boreal' to describe things associated with the northern part of Earth, especially near the Arctic.

Geographic context

'Boreal' often refers to ecological systems or habitats in northern areas, such as forests.

Ecology focus

Despite being northern, 'boreal' doesn't necessarily mean the place is extremely cold; context matters.

Not always cold

'Boreal' describes a climate zone, not just occasional cold weather, with specific vegetation and seasons.

Climate classification

When using 'boreal' to describe climate, emphasize the long, severe winters and brief summers.

Seasonal extremes

'Boreal' climates can refer to the difficult conditions for farming due to cold temperatures.

 twice as much greenhouse gases are sequestered in the boreal per acre than the tropical rainforests. And what we're doing is we're destroying this carbon sink, turning it into a carbon bomb. And we're replacing that with the largest industrial project in the history of the world,

 And the research that's been done shows that there's probably one one-hundredth of the animals on the landscape there that there used to be. Like that earlier image, we saw lots of animals. Now there's almost none. The tundra is mostly moss, and then there's the boreal forest.
