Climate Change Porn: Alaska sets a precedent for B.C.

In an interview with the BBC’s Matt McGrath, Alaska Gov. Bill Walker:
“We are in a significant fiscal challenge. We have villages that are washing away because of the change in the climate,” Walker said. Relocating these villages is proving to be “very expensive,” he continued.
McGrath asked, “So you’re saying that given the climate change impacts in Alaska, you need to be allowed to continue to drill and explore and produce oil to pay for some of those impacts in Alaska?”
Walker’s response: “Absolutely.”
