Road traffic also kills more than a million people every year, and it's mostly powered by fossil fuel transported by pipelines.

Like, don't worry, the construction of pipelines is very gentle on the ecology. It's spewing black death at the end but don't mind that.

What's next? We won't believe how oil fields in Alberta are taking care of the environment and are as clean as clean coal?

However clean and ecologically friendly the construction of the pipeline is, the exploitation of the oil sands itself is causing ecological harm. The product it transports and sells is also causing ecological harm.

Cutting down a tree to have a fire for warmth also spews black death.
Some people seem to want to blame the transportation mechanism instead of the demand.
