Risky business: How shareholders, pensions and councils are being exposed to the risks of Arctic oil
Drilling for oil in the Arctic – is it literally
crazy? Because it is driving some of the biggest companies in the world
to exhibit what can only be described as irrational behaviour. The end of
easily accessible oil from conventional sources is leading international oil
companies (IOCs) to consider ever more extreme forms of oil and gas extraction
– with the Arctic Ocean being among the last frontiers.

I Love Arctic meets Arctic Council
The air was abuzz this morning in Kiruna. As delegates and
press were mingling in the breakfast hall, Foreign Ministers were entering
their policed motorcades and a group of Greenpeace volunteers was making final

The transport minister and the 20,000 people who demanded better
When the alarm rang at 4.45am this morning, I was already
awake. Nobody overslept or moaned about feeling tired. And after a quick
pre-action breakfast we piled into the minibus, loaded with climbing equipment,
a huge banner and our petition printed with the names of 20,000 UK campaign
supporters. We were on route to Lewes, the constituency of UK Transport
Minister, Norman Baker, who this Wednesday will represent the UK in a
make-or-break moment for the future of pollution from cars.
