“The fact that even the world’s worst fossil fuel banker wants nothing to do with Arctic Refuge drilling shows just how toxic an investment it would be."

Looking forward today, however, the prospect of a catastrophic World War III is again becoming all too imaginable and this time, it appears, an incident in the Arctic could prove the spark for Armageddon.

The Arctic Refuge is one of the U.S.’s last wild places, and the coastal plain is its biological heart.

What happens in the Arctic is now affecting us all.

Indigenous leaders call climate change an urgent threat that requires a global response (an idea that was trashed by the Trump administration).

The study is a massive conglomeration of nearly 50 years of research.

"Experts in environmental law estimate that the Trump administration has now lost about 40 environmental cases in federal courts."

“This project sets us down a dangerous path of destroying the Arctic. An oil spill in the Arctic would be impossible to clean up and the region is already stressed by climate change.”

"But equally there is no doubt that we can and should constrain the increasing likelihood of all kinds of extreme weather events by restricting greenhouse gas emissions as sharply as possible."

We must stand for the protection of the Arctic Refuge and ask our representatives to do the same.
