Protect the Arctic from ConocoPhillips’ brazen new fossil fuel expansion plan

Oil giant ConocoPhillips intends to explore for oil and gas on the unscarred Arctic tundra next to the climate-busting Willow Project. Urge the Bureau of Land Management to reject ConocoPhillips’ proposal to expand their Arctic operations.

Urge the Bureau of Land Management to reject this climate-busting plan.

Oil giant ConocoPhillips intends to explore for oil and gas on the unspoiled Arctic tundra next to the climate-busting Willow Project.

This is exactly what we feared: Willow was seemingly never the end game for ConocoPhillips. Willow is looking more likely to be the launching pad for even more drilling across the Arctic.

Now, the company’s disastrous proposal is in the hands of the Bureau of Land Management – and the agency is inviting public comments on this climate-wrecking plan.

If approved, heavy-duty machinery will invade even more of the irreplaceable Arctic wilderness. Gigantic thumper trucks will exacerbate the effects of climate change and permanently harm the sensitive Arctic permafrost. The trucks could also severely impact polar bear dens and stamp seismic tracks in the land so large they can be seen from space.

And with scientists calling 2023 the hottest year on record before it’s even over, and the Arctic warming nearly four times faster than the rest of the planet, we cannot allow ConocoPhillips a greater toehold for more drilling in the Arctic.

Help stop ConocoPhillips’ wildly reckless plan to expand their Arctic oil and gas operations.

Subject Do not approve ConocoPhillips’ proposed seismic survey

Dear Ms. LaMarr:

Message Body

Please do not approve ConocoPhillips’ proposed seismic survey to explore for oil on the unspoiled Arctic tundra next to the climate-busting Willow Project.

Scientists are already confirming 2023 as the hottest year on record, and the Arctic is warming four times faster than the rest of the globe. The Willow Project alone could generate as much carbon pollution as adding nearly 2 million gas-burning cars to our roads for the next 30 years. Allowing ConocoPhillips to explore for more oil and gas in the Arctic is a recipe for disaster.

Your agency has the power to stop further oil and gas expansion in the fragile Arctic. Please do the right thing and protect the Arctic from ConocoPhillips' devastating exploration plan.

Thank you.
