A federal judge in Alaska threw out his plan to open up the Arctic Ocean to more oil drilling. Trump was hoping no one would notice the fact that the Arctic had <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.doi.gov\/sites\/doi.gov\/files\/uploads\/2016_arctic_withdrawal_fact_sheet_for_release.pdf\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">already been permanently protected<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> from drilling by President Obama, but a coalition of environmental and Alaska Native groups, including Greenpeace, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/earthjustice.org\/news\/press\/2017\/lawsuit-challenges-trump-reversal-of-arctic-and-atlantic-drilling-ban\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">took him to court and won<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This ruling is a vindication of your hard-fought activism to protect the Arctic and roll back the expansion of the oil industry &#8212; and it shows that Trump, for all his bluster and crazy tweets, has to respect the rule of law. Here\u2019s how we got here.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Saying No to Shell<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Arctic is warming twice as fast as the rest of the planet, and oil and gas companies have cynically tried to take advantage of the region\u2019s melting ice to search for new places to drill. In 2015, Royal Dutch Shell made a play to drill for oil in the Chukchi Sea, north of Alaska. Not only would this have been a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/usa\/research\/untouchable-the-climate-case-against-arctic-drilling\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">disaster for the climate<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, but an oil spill in the Arctic would be <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/usa\/cleaning-arctic-oil-spill-impossible\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">impossible to clean up<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Not to mention that Shell\u2019s <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2015\/01\/04\/magazine\/the-wreck-of-the-kulluk.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">history of screw-ups and mistakes<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> didn\u2019t exactly inspire confidence.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Greenpeace and the climate movement rose up to say #ShellNo. People piled into kayaks and canoes to confront Shell\u2019s drilling rig, the Polar Pioneer, in Seattle.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><div id=\"attachment_50482\" style=\"width: 574px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-50482\" class=\"wp-image-50482 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-usa-stateless\/2024\/11\/664a997e-gp0stp1f1_web_size_with_credit_line.jpg\" alt=\"Polar Pioneer Arrives in Seattle\" width=\"564\" height=\"800\" \/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-50482\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Kayaks cluster during the Paddle in Seattle, an &#8216;unwelcoming&#8217; party for Shell&#8217;s Polar Pioneer drilling rig.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And when Shell\u2019s icebreaker ran aground and had to return to Portland for repairs, the movement was ready to block the ship\u2019s return.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><div id=\"attachment_46973\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-46973\" class=\"wp-image-46973 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-usa-stateless\/2024\/11\/a222b673-gp0stp8x9_pressmedia.jpg\" alt=\"Shell Bridge Blockade in Portland\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" \/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-46973\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">People on the Catherdral Park dock and in kayaks cheers on activists under the St. Johns Bridge.

His plan to open up nearly every U.S. coastline to more oil and gas drilling was extremely unpopular, and in the case of the Arctic Ocean, it outright ignored the fact that Obama had already ruled out future leasing there.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Trump\u2019s new offshore oil plan called for <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.boem.gov\/NP-DPP-Lease-Sale-Schedule-2019-2024\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">lease sales<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.boem.gov\/beaufort2019\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Beaufort Sea starting in 2019<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and the Chukchi Sea in 2020. In response, Greenpeace joined with other groups in a lawsuit to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/earthjustice.org\/news\/press\/2017\/lawsuit-challenges-trump-reversal-of-arctic-and-atlantic-drilling-ban\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">challenge the plan in court<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/earthjustice.org\/news\/press\/2019\/earthjustice-president-reacts-to-judge-s-ruling-striking-down-trump-s-order-to-undo-drilling-protections-for-arctic-atlantic\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Earthjustice<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and the <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nrdc.org\/media\/2019\/190401\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Natural Resources Defense Council<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> led the litigation, representing Greenpeace along with Alaska Wilderness League, Center for Biological Diversity, Defenders of Wildlife, League of Conservation Voters, Northern Alaska Environmental Center, Resisting Environmental Destruction on Indigenous Lands (REDOIL), Sierra Club, and the Wilderness Society.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The key issue was that when Congress enacted the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act (OCSLA), it gave the president authority to withdraw areas from oil and gas leasing, but made no mention of revoking previous withdrawals. That\u2019s an act that only Congress itself can take. Judge Sharon Gleason agreed with this analysis, and as she <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/earthjustice.org\/sites\/default\/files\/files\/80%20Order%20granting%20MSJ.pdf\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">stated in her ruling<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Obama\u2019s withdrawals \u201cwill remain in full force and effect unless and until revoked by Congress.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The government may appeal this ruling, but for now this is a big victory for the climate. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Will the next president Keep It In The Ground?<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Trump has been losing in court \u2014 a lot. One tally shows that <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/policyintegrity.org\/deregulation-roundup\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Trump has lost more than 90%<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of his attempts at deregulation in his first two years in office. This latest ruling spells trouble for Trump\u2019s plans to boost fossil fuel production. The Interior Department may have to delay the release of its controversial <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.boem.gov\/National-Program\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Five-Year Program<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for offshore oil drilling and reconsider its scheduled lease sales in the Beaufort and Chukchi Seas.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s also clear that this ruling could embolden the next president to go even further in protecting our coasts from offshore oil. We know that we can\u2019t drill for more oil in coastal waters and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/usa\/research\/climate-change-costs-offshore-oil-drilling\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> at the same time. That means the next president has a choice \u2014 will they side with people or polluters? <\/span><\/p>\n<p>Healthy oceans help to support people, fight climate breakdown, and protect wildlife, so it\u2019s critical that we protect the oceans with a robust Global Ocean Treaty that allows at least 30% of the oceans to become fully protected ocean sanctuaries by 2030. <strong>Will you join us in demanding a healthy ocean?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a class=\"btn\" href=\"https:\/\/act.greenpeace.org\/page\/40938\/petition\/1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">sign now<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Trump lost big in court last Friday.
