John,

Mayor Buttigieg is a new face gaining a lot of attention, but his climate
policy doesn’t lead the curve. We are in the fight of our lives to take on
the climate crisis, and the clock is ticking. This election is our chance
to enact the kind of bold climate solutions required to avert the worst
consequences of this crisis. 

Two other leading candidates, Senators Sanders and Warren, have taken bold
positions to support a Green New Deal, commit to ambitious timelines for
100% renewable energy, ban fracking, and hold the fossil fuel industry
accountable for driving the climate crisis. 

[ [link removed] ]It’s time to hold Mayor Pete Buttigieg to a higher standard — sign this
petition urging Buttigieg to show real climate leadership today!

Buttigieg’s current climate plan includes solutions like direct-air carbon
capture and continued investment in fracked gas projects. Neither is a
particularly effective way to solve the climate crisis, and both serve to
buy the fossil fuel industry time to continue extracting and burning more
and more carbon. Instead of techno solutions and half-measures, we need to
see a plan for a rapid, just transition away from fossil fuels to 100%
renewable energy from Buttigieg now.

While Buttigieg claims he will run all new infrastructure through a
climate test, he has been hesitant on the campaign trail to explicitly
oppose new coal, oil and gas projects. He recently told 350 Action fellows
at a campaign stop in New Hampshire that he wouldn’t even ban one of the
dirtiest, most destructive forms of fossil fuel extraction — mountaintop
removal coal mining. Watch the video below to see for yourself.

We need Buttigieg to oppose new fossil fuel infrastructure, commit to
ending fracking, hold the fossil fuel industry accountable for the crisis,
and adhere to the spirit of the No Fossil Fuel Money pledge. 

[ [link removed] ]Take two minutes today to sign this petition to demand that Pete
Buttigieg fight for the future we deserve. Let’s hold Mayor Pete Buttigieg
and all candidates to a higher standard.

Until We Win,

Clarissa
