For millennia people lived in the Arctic alongside some of the most elusive and incredible animals, in some of the toughest conditions on Earth. But now all that is changing. The Arctic is heating up rapidly thanks to climate change. To have a chance of saving the rapidly melting Arctic, we need to keep fossil fuels in the ground. An oil spill in the Arctic would be a catastrophe. But corporations are intent on trying to drill there. We can’t afford to drill for more oil if we want a hope of keeping temperature rise to below 1.5ºC.
