PLEASE HELP!! Why do you think Albertans often defend the oil sands, while those of us who live elsewhere find them easier to criticize?

There are four major issues affecting the oilsands: declining price outlooks, market access, a reduction in investment and climate change pressures.

Explanation:

The environmental consequences of oil production from Alberta's tar sands are major, beginning with its effect on climate change. North America's transition to oil from the tar sands not only perpetuates, but actually worsens, emissions of greenhouse gas pollution from oil consumption.
