As we race headlong into our 6th Extinction, we delude ourselves into thinking there's something we can do about it. Kyaktivists are already patting themselves on the back for having "done their part" to keep the Oilygarchy from drilling in the Arctic. Unfortunately, as well-intentioned and as laudable their efforts might be, it's all too little, too late. The REAL reason the Oilygarchy gave up on the notion of drilling for oil in the Arctic was this: as RACING EXTINCTION clearly shows, there's enough Methane frozen in the ice to wipe Mankind off the face of the Earth FOREVER. We see a block of ice being excavated and, within it, a veritable Diorama of Death: Frozen Methane gas (ironically enough, looking not unlike the kind of mushroom cloud one sees when an Atomic Bomb is detonated). Knowing that drilling will unleash enough Methane to kill all Life on this planet, the Oilygarchs backed off- but the Russians HAVEN'T: they fully intend to drill in the Arctic. Of course, it's possible they may decide NOT to drill there... but I wouldn't hold my breath if I were you...
