An Open Letter from U.S. Scientists Imploring President Biden to End the Fossil Fuel EraOctober 7, 2021President Joseph R. Biden Jr.1600 Pennsylvania Ave, N.W.Washington, DC 20001Dear President Biden,As U.S. scientists, we write with the utmost alarm about the state of our climate system. Asoverwhelming evidence shows, the reality of our situation is now so dire that only a rapidphase-out of fossil fuel extraction and combustion can fend off the worst consequences of theclimate crisis.In this time of peril, we call on you to fulfill your campaign pledge to listen to science, takebold action to lead the nation back from the brink of runaway climate chaos, and lead theworld in a rapid transition away from fossil fuels. We urge you to: Completely stop federally authorized fossil fuel expansion by banning new federal fossilfuel leasing, fracking, and drilling on public lands and waters; directing federal agencies tostop issuing permits for fossil fuel infrastructure projects from pipelines to petrochemicalplants; and ending fossil fuel exports and subsidies; Declare a climate emergency to reinstate the decades-long ban on crude oil exports, directa portion of military spending to a rapid construction program of renewable energy projects,and provide loan guarantees to advance a rapid, just buildout of clean renewable energy; Abandon industry delay tactics including carbon capture and storage, blue hydrogen, andcarbon offsets, that impede the rapid transition to renewable energy and allow the fossil-fuelera to continue. These industry schemes are dangerous distractions.The people of the United States are already experiencing intensifying climate disasters causedprimarily by extracting, transporting, and burning fossil fuels, and the types of disasters weare living through now are certain to get worse – much worse – without emergency action.Black, Brown, Indigenous and impoverished frontline communities bear the brunt of climatedisasters and other fossil fuel industry harms, including air and water pollution that increasethe risk of respiratory illnesses, pre-term births, cancer, and premature death.Unfortunately, despite your campaign pledge to “listen to science” and your declaration thatclimate change represents an “existential threat,” your approach to fossil fuels is inconsistentwith the kind of rapid transition away from fossil fuels this emergency demands. Indeed, in itsfirst six months, your administration has taken several steps to continue advancing fossil fuelextraction and use. These include:
Continuing to approve fracking and drilling permits on federal lands, despite your campaignpledge to ban new oil and gas permitting on public lands and waters; Supporting multiple tar sands oil and oil pipelines, including the Dakota Access andEnbridge Line 3 pipelines, despite your power to halt both of these climate-destructiveprojects; Appealing a court order in order to allow fracking in Ohio’s Wayne National Forest; Advancing a proposal for oil and gas exploration near Dinosaur National Monument ineastern Utah and in the Gulf of Mexico; Backing a Trump-era oil project in Alaska that will produce over 100,000 barrels of oil aday for 30 years; Supporting public subsidies for fossil fuels through fossil hydrogen, CCS and LNG exports; Pressuring OPEC to boost oil production; Backing offset schemes that would allow the fossil fuel industry to justify continuingemissions because of claimed emissions reductions elsewhere in the economy.UN Secretary-General António Guterres has declared the newest findings of the recent IPCCreport a code red for humanity. We urge you to convene world leaders around a shared visionfor moving humanity off fossil fuels and avoiding carbon offset schemes and fossil-fuelindustry delay tactics.Our chances for avoiding irreversible and uncontrollable climate chaos diminish daily. Weimplore you, on behalf of and for the love of all life on Earth, to respond to the greatest threatever to face our species and lead the transition away from fossil fuels that humanitydesperately needs.Sincerely,Scientists joining this letter do so in their individual capacities and not on behalf of theinstitutions with which they are affiliated.Initial SignatoriesPeter Kalmus, PhDClimate ScientistUCLA Joint Institute for Regional Earth System Science and EngineeringSandra Steingraber, PhDSenior Scientist, Science and Environmental Health NetworkCo-founder, Concerned Health Professionals of New YorkRobert Bullard, PhDDistinguished Professor of Urban Planning and Environmental Policy, Texas SouthernUniversityDirector of the Bullard Center for Environmental and Climate Justice
