John,

President Biden and his administration are on a dangerous path to increase fossil fuel production and infrastructure, despite scientists and the U.N. arguing for the complete opposite: A transition off fossil fuels right away.

The U.N.’s latest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report again makes it clear that we're nearly out of time to avoid truly catastrophic climate impacts. Global emissions continue to increase, and our very narrow window to avoid even two degrees of warming is rapidly closing.

This is our last chance to avert climate chaos, but the federal government is busy approving more fossil fuel infrastructure that will certainly lock us into decades more emissions. Upon the release of the IPCC report, U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres said: “Investing in new fossil fuels infrastructure is moral and economic madness.”

Tell President Biden and Congress: We need urgent climate action NOW to avoid complete global climate chaos!

When President Biden ran for office, he pledged to stop new drilling on federal lands and start a transition off fossil fuels. He was already falling massively short on these promises before the Ukraine crisis, but now he has reversed course completely – pushing for increased fossil fuel production, rushing approvals of infrastructure, and ramping up exports to Europe.

More exports = more drilling and fracking, more pipelines through communities, and massive new polluting industrial facilities.

Enough is enough. It’s time for President Biden to halt this expansion of fossil fuels. The proposed buildout of even more fossil fuel infrastructure comes with a litany of safety risks and local pollution, which have devastating environmental justice and health impacts — it’s the exact opposite of what needs to be done.

Climate Action Now!

President Biden must declare a climate emergency, and Congress needs to lead us back from the climate cliff by supporting legislation to move us toward a future without fossil fuels. The Future Generations Protection Act would:

-Ban greenhouse gas emissions from all new power plants
-Ban fracking
-Ban crude oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids exports

Take action today! Urge President Biden to declare a climate emergency and tell your representative to cosponsor the Future Generations Protection Act!

The world is nearly out of time to preserve our chance of a livable future, not just for ourselves but for the next generations. Now is the moment we must demand our elected leaders halt all new fossil fuel development and ramp up the transition to clean, renewable energy.

Together we can move past the fossil fuel era, protect our water and food supplies, and save the planet from irreversible climate chaos. But we have to act NOW.
