28 Apr 2023 – <\/em>In what it calls \u201cone of the most blatant examples of the \u2018shock doctrine,’\u201d a Greenpeace report<\/a>\u00a0released this week reveals how the gas industry took advantage of Russia\u2019s invasion of Ukraine to lock Europe and the U.S. into building new liquefied natural gas (LNG) infrastructure that threatens the well-being of both frontline communities and the entire planet.<\/p>\n

Projects approved in the U.S. alone could, by 2030, push its exports past what the International Energy Agency\u00a0has budgeted<\/a>\u00a0for the entire global LNG trade if world leaders want to reach net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 and stop global warming at 1.5\u00b0C above pre-industrial levels, the report said.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur investigation exposes the truth behind the corporate and political push for more fossil gas imports from the U.S. to European countries: The bottom line is that fossil gas only profits the industry, it is dirty, toxic, not needed, and not wanted,\u201d said\u00a0Anusha Narayanan<\/a>, climate campaign director with Greenpeace USA.<\/p>\n
