Obama set to visit Alaska’s Arctic Circle amid charges of hypocrisy
Environmental advocates say decision to permit Shell to set rig off Alaska has tarnished president’s climate legacy
August 31, 2015
President Barack Obama is set to become the first serving U.S. president to witness firsthand the impact of global warming in Alaska’s Arctic Circle when he visits the state this week to press for urgent action against climate change. But many activists have charged him with hypocrisy following his administration’s recent decision to formalize Royal Dutch Shell’s permit to drill for oil off Alaska’s northwest coast. Protests against the administration’s policies are planned Monday in Anchorage, Seattle and Portland.
The TRUTH will set you FREE.
