Today on #PresidentsDay, we call on @potus to fulfill his climate promises and stop the Willow Project, aka the largest proposed oil&gas "Carbon Bomb" threatening Alaska's North Slope and the Western Arctic. #StopWillow See our thread and send him a message!

🚨 ConocoPhillips plans to artificially refreeze the Arctic's permafrost that the #ClimateCrisis melted in order to drill for oil & release 287M tons of CO2,. The irony is hard to miss & the logic is hard to find. Tell President Donald J. Trump to stop the Willow Project today🚨🚩

The carbon emissions from the Willow project would result in $19.8 billion or more in climate change-related damages. How much federal revenue would the project purportedly bring in? $3.9 billion. President Donald J. Trump, It's just not worth it. #StopWillow ejus.tc/3IGCFi4

BREAKING: the Biden admin has approved the Willow project. Thank you to the Indigenous leaders, climate advocates & the 5 million who fought to protect our planet. It won't stop here. The fight for a sustainable future is a long one. Our statement: bit.ly/42lpzjF

Comment: And now for the good news from the IPCC report, the 1.5C target is still viable reut.rs/42pMAlg

A U.S. District Court judge in Alaska denied a request for a preliminary injunction to prevent ConocoPhillips from proceeding with work on the Willow oil and gas project in the Western Arctic. We will continue fighting with all means at our disposal! wilderness.org/articles/press…

Scientists: record temps will get worse without fast action. "It’s a warning that we will permanently cross those thresholds in a matter of a decade or two if we fail to reduce carbon emissions dramatically in the years ahead." Prof Michael E. Mann Matthew Rozsa salon.com/2023/12/15/202…

Fossil fuels might get a new lease on life with Trump's "drill, baby, drill" policy. Expect more drilling on public lands and less investment in renewables. #FossilFuelSubsidies

Big news for our public lands—Republican attempts to sell off our public lands using reconciliation do NOT pass the Byrd Rule (or the smell test). The Parliamentarian also finds their sneaky attempts to undermine NEPA and mandatory oil and gas leasing and permitting schemes
