The most
prominent energy agency in the entire world just made an
astonishing announcement. In May 2021, the
International Energy Agency (IEA) declared that all oil and
gas drilling must cease immediately — or we absolutely will
face a climate disaster. Since the 1970s, the IEA has
focused on helping rich governments increase energy security
and stability of energy supplies. Usually, this has meant
pursuing international coordination to keep oil barrels
flowing efficiently to many corners of the world. Until now.
If you needed further evidence that our climate
crisis is severe, the IEA taking a public position against oil
and gas is huge proof.
The IEA's profound statement
specified that government approval of new coal-fired power
plants and new natural gas or oil projects should also cease
immediately, sales of fossil fuel-based cars should end by
2035, and the majority of all energy production should come
from renewable sources like wind and solar by 2050. Some
companies, such as BP and Shell, are already transitioning to
sustainable energy production, while others like Exxon Mobil
are digging in their heels. It's time for all fossil fuel corporations,
including Exxon Mobil, to switch to creating clean green
energy — and government leaders, including President Joe
Biden, must mandate this switch. Sign the petition to save the
Earth!
Thank you,

P.S. If the
world's top energy organization is saying "no more oil and
gas!" then we really better listen. Sign the petition now! |
