5 ASRJC 2023 JC1 H2 Geography MYCT - INSERT Resource 4 for Question 1 An article on the impacts of oil exploration in the Arctic Circle Oil drilling in the Arctic Circle could result in the emission of roughly 150 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. The irony is that the drilling is only possible because manmade climate change is already causing this region to grow warmer twice as fast as the rest of the planet. Oil exploration and drilling also poses a considerable risk to Arctic ecosystems and communities. For example, whales and other marine mammals are exposed to harmful underwater noise that prevents them from navigating, finding mates , and foraging in the dark Arctic waters. This can threaten the fish and marine mammals that Arctic Indigenous peoples depend on for secure access to food. Nevertheless, some argue that oil -derived revenues have helped to pay for basic services and infrastructure in villages in the region, such as Barrow near the Chukchi Sea.
