Oil and gas drilling here will spoil millions of acres of pristine wildlands, devastate habitat for polar bears, caribou, and rare migratory birds, and threaten the health of the region’s Indigenous communities. Drilling will also add hundreds of millions of metric tons of carbon pollution to our atmosphere. These horrifying emissions will accelerate the climate crisis, resulting in more harm to communities already in distress from worsening floods, droughts, wildfires, and storms. And scientists know that the Arctic is already warming four times faster than the rest of the world. I urge you to choose the well-being of future generations. Drop your lawsuit and stop oil and gas drilling in the Western Arctic.
