Polar bears are starving as climate change melts away the Arctic ice pack. BP plans to drill for oil the region.

While publicly BP is very concerned about climate change, it continues to add to the problem by following an aggressive policy of oil exploration. It is currently pushing ahead with the development of Northstar, the first ever offshore oil development in the Arctic.

Not only will the controversial Northstar project add to climate change, it also threatens up to a one in four risk of a major oil spill.
