2015-05-15 17:04:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Grist: Location, location, location the realtors mantra holds true, even in this virtual age. And right now, this weekend, the white-hot center of the environmental world is Seattle, Wash., because it sits on some of the most crucial real estate on planet earth. Seattle has long had a strong green tradition (why else would Grist make its home there?). It grew, perhaps, from the fierce attachment to the remarkable natural beauty of Puget Sound, of Mt. Rainier looming over the skyline. In any event, world-class...

Seattle Times: IF you had to pick a logo for the campaign to wreak climate havoc, you could hardly do better than Shells Arctic drilling rig, the Polar Pioneer. Climate denial has reached its fullest expression when the melting of the Arctic ice cap is greeted as a signal to drill for more oil where the ice used to be. This monument to hubris is on its way to Seattles waterfront, where Shell hopes to stage its Arctic drilling operations. It will loom large on the Emerald Citys horizon, posing a stark contrast...

Guardian: Royal Dutch Shell wants to park two massive Arctic oil drilling rigs in Seattles waterfront but the petroleum giant will have to get around protesters in kayaks and a mayor determined to take on climate change.

Seattle Mayor Ed Murray took up the cause on Monday,...
