arctic oil

Almost the same area of ​​the Arctic Circle is slightly larger than the area surrounded by the Arctic Circle, so it is the basis of this article. The largest Arctic Tundra area is in Canada, Russia, Greenland (Kalatdlit-Nunat), Scandinavia, Iceland and Alaska. Climate and land formation Tundra's climate is characterized by harsh winter temperatures, low average temperatures, low snow and rainfall, and short summer (Goudie 1993). In particular, Arctic tundra is affected by permafrost. Permafrost is a basement that is permanently frozen in the basement.

Scientists have revealed that offshore oil drilling is a highlight that can not be overcome. It is not impossible to clean up your feelings for 75% oil spill, 2012 arctic drilling accident, or polar bear. (Although there are records, these are just reasons for Hillary Clinton to oppose drilling in the Arctic Circle.) This is because 100 billion barrels of oil in the Arctic Cruise are incombustible. In other words, if you want to lower the threshold of hell below internationally recognized warming of 2 degrees or less, the amount of fossil fuel on Earth is five times as much as ours. The amount of carbon we can emit is our carbon budget and burning Arctic Oil for market reasons and 100 billion barrels will exceed the budget. Scientists are clear about this point.

Opening the Arctic Circle to increase the production of fossil fuels will result in nuclear fusion of the largest undeveloped carbon bombs on Earth. When drilling and burning the huge oil reserves of the Arctic, climate scientists will be unable to control global warming far beyond 2 ° C agreed in nearly every country in Paris one year ago I know. The oil spill of Exxon Valdez in 1989 changed my life, destroyed the native fishery of Prince William Sound, and promoted my environmental activities. I experienced directly that Exxon's greed, its divide-and-conquer strategy, and its broken pledge "We will do it again". I do not think Tillerson will act for public interest.
