Rain will replace snow as the #Arctic’s most common precipitation as Earth's frozen north warms, according to new research.

Impacts will be exponential, from accelerating global 🌎 heating, to mass starvation of reindeer and caribou.

Today, @WHCEQ took the 1st step to reinstate important components of NEPA - the law giving us the ability to comment, protest, and protect in the name of equity and access to clean water, clean air, and wild spaces for all people. https://t.co/QCNxkn8p2f

Why should young people trust world leaders to do the right thing on climate change? Not until leaders actually show a real determination to #ActOnClimate. https://t.co/ABJ42XyVbz

The Biden administration has suspended oil and gas leases in the Arctic Refuge. This is an important step toward protecting one of the planet’s last intact wild landscapes from unlawful efforts to wring private profits out of our nation’s public lands. https://t.co/lolfzGmGke

A new budget bill introduced in the U.S. House will finally undo a terrible wrong by repealing the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge oil and gas program, canceling leases and returning payments. #ProtectTheArctic #StandWithTheGwichin https://t.co/WwDerxccqL

#OnWednesdaysWeTakeAction: Retweet to tell your friends and family that Congress needs to #ProtectTheArctic through budget reconciliation!

Drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge is a bad investment, plain and simple. #ProtectTheArctic https://t.co/3l2yEmQlRN

Big thanks to Senator @MartinHeinrich and his colleagues in the Senate and House for pushing the Biden administration to reverse course and stop the massive ConocoPhillips Willow oil project in Alaska's western Arctic. Letter: https://t.co/ciXKueWEm3

The Yup’ik people of Napakiak have had to watch rapid erosion slowly eat up the land that they have lived on for hundreds of years. Villagers have developed a managed retreat plan, but are awaiting the funds necessary to carry it out. #Alaska #ActNow https://t.co/djbdFLIWQK

Pushed into warming waters, large swathes of the Arctic’s diminishing store of old ice lie at risk of melting. https://t.co/ToZtOwRlX3

If insurance companies like @LibertyMutual @ChubbNA @Travelers want to ensure the future of our planet and the rights of Indigenous Peoples, they can’t insure oil and gas projects. #ProtectTheArctic #StandWithTheGwichin https://t.co/37D7Rm0PDg

"Repealing the mandate to lease in the Arctic Refuge through the current budget reconciliation process is the most important action Congress can take right now to ensure that the rights, culture and sacred lands of the Gwich’in remain intact."

Thanks to all of your calls, emails and tweets, the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge is one step closer to being off-limits to oil and gas drilling. Thank you for standing up to #ProtectTheArctic

Old-growth forests like the Tongass National Forest in Southeast Alaska: Once lost, it may be impossible to ever replace them. #ProtectTheTongass https://t.co/U7SuJtfy2z

[Alaska Wilderness League @alaskawild]

Do insurance companies @LibertyMutual @ChubbNA @Travelers really value oil and gas more than the lives of Indigenous Peoples and wildlife? If not, then stop insuring drilling projects in the Arctic Refuge: https://t.co/XtK1qXbZ0Z #ProtectTheArctic #StandWithTheGwichin
