‘The Permian Climate Bomb’ 

/in , , , /by

Oil Change International, Earthworks, and Center for International Environmental Law are launching the first in a series of installments of a major online report today.

The Permian Climate Bomb is a creative storytelling project developed in collaboration with artists, illustrating the environmental injustice and climate damages caused by barely-regulated oil and gas production in the United States, from New Mexico to the Gulf Coast.  The project aims to break down this multifaceted issue, with the goal of bringing it to the forefront of the fight against the climate crisis.

Part One of this series is launching today with the multimedia Permian Climate Bomb website, and reveals the Permian Basin has grown more than 500% in the past decade — and is still expected to grow aggressively in the coming decade, posing a major risk to President Biden’s and the world’s climate agenda.

The first section of the report is accessible at PermianClimateBomb.org in both English and Spanish, and Parts Two through Six of the series will be released in coming weeks. Please let me know if you have any questions, and thanks in advance for sharing!
