Climate health depends on keeping the oil in the ground in the Amazon and if the world really wants to avoid climate disaster, oil drilling in the Amazon MUST END. The oil industry must STOP destroying the Amazon simply for short-term economic gains.
In May 2014, Ecuador’s government rejected a petition calling for abandoning plans for drilling in the area, saying the organizers had failed to get enough signatures to call for a national referendum. Later in the month, Ecuador signed permits for oil drilling in a 6,500-square-mile area of Yasuni National Park, a UNESCO site and one of the most bio-diverse hotspots on the planet; oil production might begin as soon as 2016.
In June, 2014, a study confirmed oil drilling had contaminated Western Amazon rainforest as companies dumped their drilling waste into open pits or directly into rivers and streams.
This girl pleads for change: “Equador is not going to get out of poverty just because they come and drill for oil in the Amazon. Equador is going to lose the only rainforest that we have left. It’s going to destroy cultures, the environment, and kill plants and animals…That’s not getting out of poverty. If you look at those places where they are drilling oil, those are the regions most people are living with terrible health conditions, and no education; those are the regions most poor”.
Will you wait for the disaster to happen, or will you do your bit to make the climate healthier? Share this video and join her call for change.
You can speak till your face turns blue ,the corporate leaders of all the oil companies around the world have been creating wars ,to gain oil interests in the middle east ,. Do you really think those people care who lives ,or dies ? As long as they get the oil ,so they can live the lavish lifestyles they`re use to living ,. Oil company owners ,or corporate leaders of these companies will never back down ,they could`nt care less about anyone but themselves ,and their pitiful families.
We only have one planet to live on and we cant eat money to survive!!!!! stupid oil companys…
Greed is destroying our Mother Earth and will destroy us. Stop Drilling Oil in the Amazon Rainforests.
reminds me of the movie avatar, but i dont think this story will have a happy ending.
Is this the world that we created? Yes!
Is this the world we devastated against the law? Yes!
Are you still sitting on the fence doing nothing about it?

You have to wipe UnitedStates before this happens dudes.
This is just an Utopia if this system still the way they are.
THIS ARTICLE IS A COMPLETE SCAM
This is a NWO sponsored article! The indiscriminate drilling contaminating rivers and rain forest soil was carried out by Chevron/Texaco YEARS AGO and which they are still refusing to pay for AND DO NOT FORGET THE deaths and ongoing suffering caused to the indigenous population by these NWO front companies. The present drilling contracts include extremely strict ambiental criteria and will be strictly overseen by very keen ambientalists – and yes the local people voted to “allow” drilling! Do not get conned by US/NWO scare tactics – if the Ecuadorian rainforest is indeed the last one left then the so called ambientalists in Chevron/Texaco are to blame as they have been drilling indiscriminately all over the world! Climate health to a very small percentage (less than 5%) depends more on the US and developed world’s use of these oils! There has been no “global warming” as stated by Al Gore where there would be no polar caps by the year 2014 – look at them now bigger than ever before! Do not forget the ice age temperatures reaching as far as Texas and Florida! GLOBAL WARMING IS A GLOBAL SCAM! The earth’s climate is uncontrollable by the humans on earth all we can do is try and reduce our less than 5% contribution – YES – there are studies that show we are responsible for less than 5% of the greenhouse gases! The earths climate is controlled largely by the sun and Lunar cycles with water vapour and vegetation and animal produced methanol being the real problems! Scientists have found mini localized heating and cooling cycles unrelated to human population one is in the North Atlantic – so I suppose the Scots will be blamed for that not the ten times plus population of Engerlund with their two cars and open fires and not to forget the amount of Methanol the population produces 10 TIMES THAT OF SCOTLAND! So the English race is just one big FART! DO NOT BELIEVE THIS REPORT IT IS the NWO in Action!
You are a compete idiot. Your assumptions are based on air. Our climite is warming faster than ever before, carbon levels are 400ppm at present, higher than ever before.
You’re one of those people saying this in name of the US government. I have to throw over becouse of this comment. Idiot!
