Top Ten Reasons Shell's Plan to Drill In the Arctic Is Bad
This summer shell is planning to drill for oil in the Arctic. This will be disastrous, trust me, I have signed greenpeace.org's petition, and you should too.Share this list with all your friends and maybe greenpeace will reach the 10 million signitures goal. The polar bears will thank you!
Global warming is melting the arctic's ice glaciers, sea levels have risen. We need to fix this, not wreck havoc on the arctic for dumb oil. Can't we just use solar energy? Shell could start drilling in 7 days...
If an oil spill happens, the arctic is so remote and there are no cities within thousands of miles, it'll be almost impossible to get rescue equipment, and there is a 75% chance of oil spilling
There is a lot of oil in the Arctic, but there is also a lot of polar bears, penguins
The making of oil products cause co2, co, so2, nox, voc, and more harmful things. Plastic bags are killing the enviorment because they are going into the river, then the ocean, and then marine wildlife end up eating it or being suffocated in it because they are not reusable and that's what happens to it when they are thrown out.
Oil is nonrenuable. Eventually (40 years, to be exact) will run out. Oil isn't going to work forever, so we shouldn't rely on it, and destroy the enviorment in the process.
The transition from non-renewable to renewable source of energy is not up to the pace where we can stop the use of oil altogether, but seeing oil is going to get finished regardless in near future, the pace should speed up a little.
There are plenty of renuable sources of energy, such as windmills, biomass, water, and solar energy, that have no pollution after they are started up, yet we continue to use oil. Why?
The arctic reflects sunlight, influences ocean currents, it insulates air, keeps methane at bay, supports native people, limits severe weather, and supports native wildlife. The arctic is now thinner and smaller, and will become worse if shell follows through with this. She doesn't care about the future of this planet, they care about the future of their bank accounts.
In the near future, we will have more electric cars. Plus, digging into an area that is already MELTING would make global warming look possible.
It will only bring the price down 50ยข a barrel, that is nothing. It will save us money, but a miniscule amount that it's not even worth it.
