Hey baddies, it’s Lola — and America just told the Arctic to go touch grass… while it still exists.
Trump’s back on his fossil fuel fantasy tour, and this time, he’s cracking open the Alaskan wilderness like it’s a piñata full of oil.
The administration just announced it’s rolling back Biden-era protections in the National Petroleum Reserve — aka one of the last stretches of untouched Arctic ecosystem that wasn’t already leaking or on fire.
The plan? Open millions of acres to oil drilling.
Because nothing says “energy independence” like torching a climate-sensitive biome and evicting endangered species.
Environmentalists are having a meltdown — and no, not the glacial kind.
We’re talking lawsuits, protests, and very public, very justified screaming.
The area in question is home to caribou, migratory birds, and yes — polar bears.
But Trump’s team is treating it like a blank spot on the map that just screams “drill here.” Because when your campaign slogan is “America First,” apparently nature comes last, right after “facts” and “any concern for the future.” Let’s pause and be clear: this is not about energy prices.
It’s about posturing.
Oil from this project won’t flow for years, and global markets won’t blink.
But the ecosystem?
Oh, it’ll definitely feel it — especially when rigs roll in and start making permanent friends with permafrost.
And while climate scientists are clutching their reports like rosaries, the administration is busy releasing press statements about “economic opportunity” and “domestic production.” Translation: they found some oil, and your grandchildren’s lungs are not on the shareholder board.
🐾 TL;DR: Trump’s drilling the Arctic like it’s a scratch card and polar bears are just inconvenient mascots in the way of a press release.
