the only murder we have to commit is the murder of capitalism.

🚨#STOPWILLOWPROJECT The Biden administration has approved a controversial $8bn (£6bn) drilling project on Alaska’s north slope, which has drawn fierce opposition from environmentalists and some Alaska Native communities, who say it will speed up the climate breakdown and undermine food security. • The ConocoPhillips Willow project will be one of the largest of its kind on US soil, involving drilling for oil and gas at three sites for multiple decades on the 23m-acre National Petroleum Reserve which is owned by the federal government and is the largest tract of undisturbed public land in the US. It will produce an estimated 576m barrels of oil over 30 years, with a peak of 180,000 barrels of crude a day. This extraction, which ConocoPhillips has said may, ironically, involve refreezing the rapidly thawing Arctic permafrost to stabilize drilling equipment, would create one of the largest “carbon bombs” on US soil, potentially producing more than twice as many emissions than all renewable energy projects on public lands by 2030 would cut combined. • More than 1 million letters were sent to President Biden and petitions gathered more than 4 million signatures. This is a slap in the face. In fact, Biden only shaved off about 8% of the original plan proposed by ConocoPhillips. • It's 2023 and we are already on the verge of destroying Earth in a way that cannot be fixed. By approving this project, we will see an unprecedented amount of lost jobs and homes, sickness, and community displacement. • (Slide 1) #RickFraustoFineArt Greta Thunberg Portrait, 2019 #OriginalDrawing on archival paper Dimensions: 6 X 9 inches • ✍️Source: The Guardian & @genzforchange (slides 2-5) • #TomorrowIsTooLate #JustStopOil #DivestFromFossilFuels (at Teshekpuk Lake) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpvOX3Lp924/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
