'Biden will keep being haunted until he changes course.'
The Biden administration's approval of the Willow Project and other drilling—during his first two years in office, Biden outpaced former President Donald Trump in—called into further doubt the White House's commitment to treating the climate crisis as an"existential threat."
"Reading the U.N.'s latest dire climate warnings just days after Biden approved massive new Arctic oil drilling is utterly infuriating," Shaye Wolf, climate science director at the Center for Biological Diversity,Monday."The fossil-fueled path to more climate disasters, mass displacements, and wildlife extinctions is bleak, but it's not inevitable."
"Chief among world leaders, Biden has the tools to not only ratchet up renewables but move us decisively off fossil fuels," Wolf added."Scientists have mapped the way to a livable planet, but we need the political will to get us there." On Monday, shortly following the release of the IPCC report, climate activists disrupted a Washington, D.C.
hosted by the Center for Strategic and International Studies, where White House climate adviser Ali Zaidi appeared to deliver an address on the"future of U.S. climate and energy leadership."
