Internet E-mail about ANWR
June 29, 2008
ANWR is the Arctic National Wildlife Reserve. Democrats oppose drilling there because it is a pristine wilderness that we need to protect. Oh, really? What this e-mail points out is the truth about where the drilling will actually be and the truth about the area including maps and pictures.
We tried to verify this on SNOPES but were not able to find any mention of it, so we present it here without vouching for its accuracy.

FIRST – do you know what ANWR is? |
|
Now some perspective: |
|
NOTE WHERE THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT AREA IS. It’s in the ANWR Coastal Plain. THESE ARE PICTURES OF WHAT THE DEMOCRATS, LIBERALS AND GREENS SHOW YOU WHEN THEY TALK ABOUT ANWR and they are right, these ARE photographs of ANWR. |
|
WELL THAT’S NOT EXACTLY THE TRUTH. Do you remember the map? The map showed that the proposed drilling area is in the ANWR Coastal Plain. Do those photographs look like a coastal plain to you? WHAT’S GOING ON HERE? THE ANSWER IS SIMPLE, THAT IS NOT WHERE THEY ARE WANTING TO DRILL! BELOW IS WHAT THE PROPOSED EXPLORATION AREA ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE IN THE WINTER. |
|
AND THIS IS WHAT IT ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE IN THE SUMMER. |
|
HERE IS A SCREEN SHOT FROM GOOGLE EARTH. |
|
OH! AND THEY SAY THAT THEY ARE CONCERNED ABOUT THE EFFECT ON THE LOCAL WILDLIFE. HERE IS A PHOTO (SHOT DURING THE SUMMER) OF THE DEPLETED WILDLIFE SITUATION CREATED BY DRILLING AROUND PRUDHOE BAY. DON’T YOU THINK THAT THE CARIBOU REALLY HATE THAT DRILLING? |
|
There’s plenty more to this e-mail, but we think you get the idea. |

Got something to say?
The actual facts are absolutely on Snopes – absolute lie that you couldn’t find it there.
John,
Who’s the LIAR? When we checked the day the article was posted, it was NOT there. Check the date that SNOPES posted the article on July 2 (at the very bottom). We posted our article on June 29th. So who’s the liar now? Besides that, most of the e-mail information is TRUE!
