To President Obama and Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lisa Jackson:

As concerned citizens, we call on you revoke Shell's permit for drilling in the Arctic. The ice is melting at an unprecedented rate, and we need to find ways to stop it not accelerate it. Now is the time to act, before we experience truly devastating sea level rise.

Extent of surface melt over Greenland’s ice sheet on July 9 (left) and July 12 (right) (NASA)

July 25: It's terrifying -- in three days this month we saw the biggest ice melt in 150 years!! And instead of finding ways to prevent this devastating disaster, governments are moving in to drill for oil.

We are running out of time! Let's create a wave of pressure now -- sign the urgent petition and share this image everywhere:
