<P>French oil giant Total wants to pump the equivalent of
<STRONG>535,000 barrels of oil per day from under the Arctic's
fragile ice.</STRONG></P>
<P>Total’s planned Arctic gas megaproject is set to become one of
the most polluting projects in the world --<STRONG> and financial
backing of the French government could make it a
reality.</STRONG></P>
<P>France’s President <STRONG>Macron likes to show off his green
credentials</STRONG>, even calling Total’s project "incoherent" and
"reckless".</P>
<P>But away from the TV cameras, <STRONG>he’s about to quietly grant
a €700 million loan guarantee to Total.</STRONG></P>
<P><STRONG>This dirty double-dealing must stop</STRONG>, and we need
to move fast before Macron’s final decision. Macron is obsessed with
his international image, a global public outcry will definitely
embarrass him. <STRONG>Vladimir, if we stand together, we can still
stop him becoming a Total Arctic Destroyer.</STRONG> Will you join
this global action?</P>

Macron to withdraw from Total's deadly Arctic project and stick to
his international climate commitments!</A></P>
<P>The Arctic <STRONG>is home to Indigenous communities</STRONG>
like the Gwich'in, the Inuit, and the Sámi. It also <STRONG>shelters
many endangered species</STRONG> like polar bears, narwhals &
penguins.</P>
<P>Total's plan will assault the Arctic landscape and life with
<STRONG>methane explosions, pollution and more deadly heat
waves.</STRONG></P>
<P><STRONG>Vladimir, there is still time to stop the escalating
melting of the Arctic ice.</STRONG> Together we can push world
leaders like Macron -- always first in line to sign climate
agreements -- to stop funding destructive drilling by corporations
like Total.</P>
<P><STRONG>If we make the French government back off today, we’ll
send a strong message to other heads of state:</STRONG> That we, the
global public, won't tolerate public money being used to finance our
destruction!</P>

action and not guarantee Total's gas mega-project.</A></P>
<P>Across France, SumOfUs members like you have joined with our
partners at 350 to make the French government think twice -- for
now. <STRONG>But Macron is most sensitive to international opinion,
so they need your help to expose his double-dealing on climate to
the world.</STRONG></P>
<P>Over the past year, SumOfUs members have been holding our
governments to account on the climate crisis — rallying our world
leaders to stop pouring public recovery money into the worst
polluters’ pockets.</P>
<P><STRONG>Now we have the chance to do that again, and stop the
French government financing arctic oil drilling.</STRONG> No more
climate talk, we want climate action:</P>
