Days after Biden pledged at COP26 to slash climate emissions, his administration signed off on the largest U.S. oil and gas lease sale ever. Environmentalists claimed the deal will cause catastrophic oil spills and more suffering for communities and wildlife along the Gulf Coast.

“The Biden administration is lighting the fuse on a massive carbon bomb in the Gulf of Mexico. It’s hard to imagine a more dangerous, hypocritical action in the aftermath of the climate summit,” said Kristen Monsell, oceans legal director at the Center for Biological Diversity.

“This will inevitably lead to more catastrophic oil spills, more toxic climate pollution and more suffering for communities and wildlife along the Gulf Coast. Biden has the authority to stop this, but instead he’s casting his lot in with the fossil fuel industry and worsening the climate emergency.”
