Vodadahue Mountain When I feel tall I tell myself that when the time comes I will know as the elephant knows as the puma knows and I will go to Vodadahue Mountain by the deep green inlet by the deep green gorge and in steady pain I will climb the basalt tower and on the last ice step before the summit unmarked by everything but air I will be still for a long moment and then let the white mouth of the snowcloud eat me and there will be only this silence and the trees at the foot will begin to feed and I will have paid back all that I have owed and there will be only this silence.

greenpeace’s Save the Arctic campaign has teamed up with award winning British creative agency Don’t Panic, and famous British montage artists Kennardphillipps, to create its next video targeting oil giant Shell and its plans to drill in the icy waters of the US Alaskan Arctic this summer.

The video shows three iconic landscape artworks burning away to expose jarring dystopian replacements. In the new artworks, the scenes have been transformed by Shell drilling infrastructure, devastating oil spills and explosions. It gives the viewer a powerful sense of what Shell risks by drilling in the Arctic.

As Harvard historian Naomi Oreskes told The Nation when asked about the "but we all use fossil fuels" argument: "Of course we do, and people in the North wore clothes made of cotton picked by slaves. But that did not make them hypocrites when they joined the abolition movement. It just meant that they were also part of the slave economy, and they knew it. That is why they acted to change the system, not just their clothes."
