'Any extra emissions are in direct conflict with climate goals and it's hypocritical for the Biden administration to allow these things to get built and then say the U.S. wants to decrease its own emissions,' says globalenergymon's heyitsbaird.
"It's hypocritical for the Biden administration to allow these things to get built and then say the U.S. wants to decrease its own emissions," said one climate campaigner.The Biden administration's plan to potentially allow four new oil terminals along the Texas Gulf Coast would unleash a"carbon bomb" potentially equivalent to three years of all U.S.
"The amount of oil going through these projects, and the resulting emissions, are pretty astounding," said Global Energy Monitor analyst Baird Langenbrunner. ;“Increasing oil production is completely at odds with the Biden administration's stated goals of climate progress. https://t.co/1YqchQpfSw;”Sea Port Oil Terminal , the largest of the projects, would produce an estimated seven billion metric tons of annual greenhouse emissions, followed by Bluewater Texas , Blue Marlin , and Texas GulfLink . In 2019, U.S. emissions totaled 6.6 billion metric tons, according to the analysis.
"Even if the emissions are a bit lower... we are fast-forwarding ourselves to the date where we have to stop completely emitting," said Langenbrunner."Any extra emissions are in direct conflict with climate goals and it's hypocritical for the Biden administration to allow these things to get built and then say the U.S. wants to decrease its own emissions."
