Actress Lucy Lawless joins Greenpeace New Zealand activists in stopping a Shell-contracted drillship from departing the port of Taranaki for the remote Arctic, where its exploratory oil drilling programme threatens to devastate the Alaskan coastline. Six Greenpeace New Zealand activists, along with Lawless, famous for her roles in ‘Xena: Warrior Princess’ and ‘Spartacus’, board the vessel, scaled its 53 metre drilling derrick and are hanging banners from its summit, reading \u201cStop Shell\u201d and \u201c#SaveTheArctic.\u201d They are equipped with survival gear and enough supplies to last for several days.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\nSix Greenpeace New Zealand activists, along with Lawless, famous for her roles in Xena: Warrior Princess and Spartacus, have boarded the vessel, scaled its 53 metre drilling derrick and are in the process of hanging banners from its summit, reading \u201cStop Shell\u201d and \u201c#SaveTheArctic.\u201d They are equipped with survival gear and enough supplies to last for several days.<\/p>\n\n
\u201cI\u2019m here today acting on behalf of the planet and my children,\u201d said Lawless. \u201cDeep-sea oil drilling is bad enough, but venturing into the Arctic, one of the most magical places on the planet, is going too far. I don\u2019t want my kids to grow up in a world without these extraordinary places intact or where we ruin the habitat of polar bears for the last drops of oil.\u201d<\/p>\n\n
She continued, \u201cTo see the melting of the sea ice not as a warning to humanity but as an invitation to drill for more of the stuff that caused the problem in the first place is the definition of madness. What Shell is doing is climate change-profiteering.\u201d<\/p>\n\n
Shell is the first major international oil company to make the exploitation of the Arctic a key part of their strategy. If the Noble Discoverer strikes oil this summer, other global oil giants may quickly follow, sparking an Arctic oil rush.<\/p>\n\n
The Arctic\u2019s extreme weather conditions and short summer season means Shell has a limited window for drilling new exploratory wells before the return of winter sea ice. Freezing temperatures, unpredictable weather and remote drilling locations pose unprecedented challenges, making an oil spill impossible to contain and clean up (1).<\/p>\n\n
According to a senior official at a Canadian firm that specialises in responding to oil spills, \u201cthere is really no solution or method today that we\u2019re aware of that can actually recover [spilled] oil from the Arctic\u201d (2).<\/p>\n\n
Total estimated Arctic oil reserves would satisfy just three years of current global oil demand, but would both contribute significantly to carbon emissions, and pose a grave risk to the local eco-system (3).<\/p>\n\n
\u201cA large scale oil spill would devastate the fragile frozen Arctic world and hindered by ice, darkness and fierce winds, a clean up would be impossible,\u201d said Greenpeace New Zealand Climate Campaigner Steve Abel, \u201cWhere oil production happens, spills happen, it is not a matter of if but when.\u201d<\/p>\n\n
He continued, \u201cThere is no more striking an emblem of the madness of oil expansion than the struggle for the Arctic. We must draw a line in the ice and stop Shell and the oil industry from ruining these last unspoiled ends of the Earth, and transition to the clean energy sources that can power our world without cooking it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n
Earlier this week, the Department of Interior\u2019s Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement approved Shell\u2019s Oil Spill Response Plan for the Chukchi Sea (4). The plan included devices for cleaning up a spill \u2014 including capping and containment systems and ice deflection barriers \u2014 that Shell admits have never been properly tested except in laboratories or on paper.

(2) A senior official at a Canadian firm that specialises in oil-spill response says there is no way to clean up a spill in the Arctic.\u201d http:\/\/www.sikunews.com\/News\/Canada-Northwest-Territories\/No-one-knows-how-to-clean-up-an-Arctic-oil-spill-7692<\/p>\n\n
(3) According to the US Geological Survey the Arctic contains a maximum of 90 billion barrels of oil. Global demand is currently roughly 90 million barrels per day (mb\/d); the IEA\u2019s world energy outlook 2011 anticipates that oil demand (excluding biofuels) will rise from 87 mb\/d in 2010 to 99 mb\/d in 2035. By calculation, this amounts to at most three years of global oil consumption in the Arctic.<\/p>\n\n
