A coalition of environmental leaders sent a letterto President Obama on Tuesday calling on him to “reverse course” on his pursuit of liquified natural gas (LNG) exports and, in the interest of climate urgency, keep all fossil fuels “in the ground.”
“We are disturbed by your administration’s support for hydraulic fracturing,” the group writes, “particularly, your plan to build liquefied natural gas export terminals along U.S. coastlines that would ship large amounts of fracked gas around the world.”
Though applauding Obama’s efforts to “elevate” the climate crisis, the letter argues that the expansion of U.S. exports of fracked and liquified natural gas would “significantly undermine” these promises.
During a press call on Tuesday, 350.org founder Bill McKibben—who co-authored the letter—questioned the president’s commitment to addressing the climate crisis, saying, “We’ll find out how sincere he is.”
