[WSMDiscuss] [REDlistserve] Arctic oil drilling

[Rahul Basu]

The Arctic refuge had been contested since 1980. The opening up if the
refuge (and other protected areas) is a consequence of wrong framing
underpinned by a serious error in government accounting.

Recently, the International public sector accounting standards board has
agreed to start work on a new standard for natural resources. This is a
start, but there are a bunch of others that need correcting - IMF GFSM
2014, UN SNA 2008 & UN SEEA. https://link.medium.com/GPRRSMmJzV

Not sure about the legal grounds of the ban here, but without reframing
mining as a sale of the family silver, the pressure to extract will remain.
