NESE is a fossil fuel proposed project, so it will impact the climate crisis
YES – NATURAL GAS IS A KEY FACTOR IN THE CLIMATE CRISIS.
YES – CLIMATE CHANGE CAUSES SEA LEVEL RISE, OCEAN ACIDIFICATION, MELTING PERMAFROST, DROUGHTS, AND MORE FREQUENT, INTENSE & LONGER-LASTING WEATHER EVENTS LIKE STORMS, FLOODING, WILDFIRES & HEAT WAVES.
YES – THE IMPACTS OF THE CLIMATE CRISIS NEGATIVELY AFFECT OUR HEALTH, ECONOMY AND ENVIRONMENT.
YES – THE OIL AND GAS INDUSTRIES AND THOSE THEY SUPPORT ARE DOING EVERYTHING THEY CAN TO STAY IN BUSINESS DESPITE THE INTENSIFYING CLIMATE CRISIS.
There is scientific and data-based proof that fossil fuel extraction + storage + processing + transmission + burning are major causes of climate change.
The oil and gas industries knew about these impacts decades ago, and they hid their findings through effectively deceptive climate denialism and disinformation campaigns. Fossil fuel companies knowingly and profitably chose to cause the climate crisis.
The fossil fuel industry has collected billions in taxpayer-backed subsidies, and they aim to continue doing so. They claim to be committed to climate action while expanding extraction of oil and gas. Through lobbying, distracting information greenwashing, generating obstacles to stall or weaken environmental policies, contributing to politicians, and funding front groups that appeared to be neutral, they make sure that they continue to make profits at the peril of the people.
There is hard evidence that climate change is real, and this is already evidenced in impacts seen around the world. This disastrous summer of heat waves, wildfires, floods, droughts and resulting deaths, starvation and destruction are what we can expect as “normal” if we do not quickly curb use of fossil fuels. We must take future predictions of continuing and catastrophic impacts seriously by understanding climate change attribution science. The evidence for this is chronicled in the Sabin Center and Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory Climate Attribution Database, a thematically organized repository of state-of-the-art climate change attribution science.
The work found here confirms that physical impacts, such as sea level rise, ocean acidification and melting permafrost, can be attributed to climate change and that climate change impacts can be proportionately attributed to specific emission sources.
