President Biden: The Time For Urgent Climate Action is NOW!

The White House released its Build Back Better framework. Instead of canceling billions of dollars in taxpayer subsidies for oil and gas polluters, President Biden’s spending plan fails to directly confront the oil and gas industry.

The Build Back Better framework is a historically significant failure of leadership, but there are other opportunities President Biden can take to promote a safe and livable future.

President Biden must use his executive authority to stop the expansion of fossil fuels, reject industry scams, and put the full force of his administration behind a transition off fossil fuels and onto renewable energy.

Dear President Biden,

Message Body

The United States has been responsible for more emissions than any other country.  And as fossil fuel-driven climate change accelerates, the science is clear that we need to move off fossil fuels if we hope to avoid runaway climate chaos.

The latest United Nations Emissions Gap Report claims that plans to tackle climate change aren’t going far enough to avert a dangerous rise in global temperatures. And the current Build Back Better framework is more of the same  — weak half measures and taxpayer giveaways to corporate polluters. It doesn’t do what is necessary to truly address the climate crisis: end new fossil fuel infrastructure, rapidly phase out fossil fuels, and transition to real, clean renewable energy.

The handouts to the fossil fuel industry in the Build Back Better framework are a distraction from the real actions we need to address the climate crisis. Instead, we need massive investments in renewable energy, but we also need to stop subsidizing (both directly and indirectly) the fossil fuel industry.

It’s clear that there is no time to delay. We need real climate action now!

I urge you to use your executive powers to take bold action to combat the climate crisis before it’s too late.

Sincerely,

[First Name] [Last Name]
