The Latest On: Climate Change
Moneen Nasmith, Attorney, Northeast Office, Earthjustice: “Enbridge’s activities are causing serious harm to wetlands, waterways, and indigenous cultural resources every day they continue.”
Jenny Harbine, Attorney, Northern Rockies Office: “There’s a false narrative that is out there that the market will take care of coal, and all we need to do is focus on oil and gas. Coal will not take care of itself on the time frame that’s needed to address our climate crisis.”
Jeremy Lieb, Attorney, Alaska Office: “This is a resounding win for our clients and the climate. The court’s decision vacates the Trump administration’s decision approving the Willow project, and we hope the Biden administration takes this opportunity to reconsider the project in light of its commitment to address the climate emergency.”
Tania Galloni, Managing Attorney, Florida: “Time’s up. Our state leaders keep talking about ‘adapting’ our way out of climate change, but the fact is we need to cut fossil fuel emissions. Florida has to stop living in the past – stop adding more fossil fuel power, like ‘natural’ gas plants — and instead needs to double down on solar and other renewable power sources.”
