President Joe Biden has made addressing climate change a key part of his administration, yet his support for ConocoPhillips’ Willow project would set back his own plans on climate. To be the climate president he claims to be, Biden must keep his promises.
The Willow project is many steps in the wrong direction. With temperatures already rising and climate impacts such as wildfires, hurricanes, drought and flooding accelerating, drilling for more oil and gas is shortsighted and directly in opposition to scientists’ reports on the impact of fossil fuels on our planet.
We need to invest in real climate solutions like wind and solar, not continue the same disastrous plans that have led us further into climate crisis.
