                        Demand that the Trump administration reverse this devastating oil and gas expansion.
                       
                 
           
                       
                 
           
                       
                 
           
                        A Typhoon Fueled by Climate Change Just Destroyed Portions of Alaska. Then Trump Opened Alaska to More Oil Drilling.

                        On October 11, Typhoon Halong slammed into the coast of Alaska. Houses glided away off their foundations, roads were demolished, power lines and communication lines toppled, and sanitation systems destroyed. Many communities still have no access to electricity or safe, clean water — even weeks later. More than one thousand people and entire towns have been displaced.

                        All this was made worse by rapidly-intensifying climate change. Yet Trump's administration just finalized its decision to allow oil and gas drilling in the unsoiled, protected lands of the Alaskan Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.

                        Experts are saying that it may take 18 months or longer for towns to be safe for residents to return to. But even once these typhoon-impacted towns are rebuilt, they will simply face the next wave of climate-induced threats — and residents can't just rebuild forever.

                        Climate change is not only changing the world, but it's specifically changing Alaska. Much of the state's ground has traditionally been permafrost, or land that remains frozen throughout the year. But now, that land is thawing, reeking havoc on both the ecosystems there and even on human construction.

                        Drilling would disrupt wildlife and the environment by way of human construction, noise and light pollution, and the use of toxic chemicals. Native tribes hold these lands as sacred and are demanding continued protections for the area. Drilling would not only lay waste to beautiful portions of this irreplaceable Refuge, but it would also further commit the U.S. to dirty energy sources — which cause and worsen climate change.

                        This latest typhoon and the devastation it brought should make it clear that we must prioritize people and the Earth above profits. We must oppose oil and gas drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, and demand a workable, enforceable plan to fight climate change!
