Scientists to Biden Stop CP2, No LNG_MS_NB

Mark Schlosberg

Specifically, we urge you to determine that the proposed CP2 LNG export terminal in Louisiana is not in the public interest and to reject it and other pending LNG facilities. [...] Altogether, the science to date shows that spiraling emissions of the climate super-pollutant methane are a major contributor to the ongoing failure to meet agreed-upon global emissions targets and stabilize the climate. [...] Yet the magnitude of the proposed buildout of LNG over the next several years is staggering. [...] As scientists we are telling you in clear and unambiguous terms that approving CP2 and other LNG projects will undermine your stated goals of meaningfully addressing the climate crisis and put us on a continued path toward escalating climate chaos.
