- I understand that the climate is changing and oil plays a major part in this.
The pursuit to extract oil from the Arctic is madness.
It will lead to a catastrophe, an ecological catastrophe.
- We can clearly see how oil companies operate on land.
This year I have seen the Rosneft oilfields in Siberia.
I saw oil spills which are happening there.
I saw rusty pipelines bleeding oil.
If this company can't safely extract oil on land
then it shouldn't even be in the Arctic.
- Now we're in the Barents sea which is covered by ice in the winter.
Here, Rosneft and Statoil are going to drill for oil.
Not far from here is Norwegian territory
and Statoil doesn't drill there because of strict laws.
Here on Russian Arctic territory international companies
are trying to kill this region by drilling for oil here.
