專題報導 - 2015-07-30
最新消息:美國時間7月29日凌晨, 26名勇敢的行動成員懸掛在波特蘭市著名的聖約翰大橋(St. John Bridge)上,以阻止蜆殼石油公司(SHELL)的破冰船「芬尼加號 (Fennica)」再度啟航前往北極!他們均備有充足的裝備及糧食,預備長期留守。為甚麼?因為阻止SHELL到北極鑽油的每一秒,就代表奧巴馬政府有多一秒時間,考慮撤回SHELL的北極鑽油許可。

The climbers are currently preventing the ship from passing underneath the bridge on its way to meet Shell’s drilling fleet. The climbers have enough supplies to last for several days. According to the latest federal permit, the Fennica must be at Shell’s drill site before Shell can reapply for federal approval to drill deep enough for oil in the Chukchi Sea.

其中一名行動成員Georgia的分享:

您也可以置身SHELL的破冰船與北極之間

SHELL幾乎準備好正式到北極鑽油,但需要這艘破冰船運送一件不可或缺的鑽探設備。但這艘破冰船之前出現損毀,船上有一個大洞!因此緊急送到波特蘭維修,而SHELL亦被迫延遲北極鑽油計劃。如今維修完成,行動成員們第一時間趕到當地,盡最大努力守護北極。

人類歷史上第一次,我們將面臨北極沒有冰的世界,北極熊、獨角鯨和海象將失去他們棲息的家園。而SHELL的北極鑽油計劃,不止威脅到這些寶貴的北極動物,在北極鑽探新的石油來源、任由人類燃燒更多的化石燃料,更將加速全球氣候變化,最終賠上地球的未來。

波特蘭的行動,足以表達全球700多萬「北極守護者」一致的聲音:「SHELL,不要奢想可以悄然無聲到北極鑽油!」在世界各地,守護北極的呼聲日漸強大。您呢?您願意聯署成為「北極守護者」,一起阻止SHELL進佔北極嗎?
