U.S. President Joe Biden just approved one of the biggest oil projects in history. The Willow oil reserve in Alaska sits on the largest parcel of public land in the U.S.
Now giant oil corporation ConocoPhillips wants to drain this reserve - even though it is also an important habitat for endangered polar bears, caribou, birds, and more.
Approving the Willow Project goes against President Biden's campaign promise to end drilling on public lands and his promises to help prevent climate chaos.
Increased emissions from this project threaten everyone on earth. Scientists are warning that we have barely a decade left to curb catastrophic warming of the planet. So why is President Biden actively expanding fossil fuel projects?
The Biden Administration promised to be a leader in fighting climate change. This means no more drilling for fossil fuels.
