Planet Earth & Environment

Former President Donald Trump’s sold the leases in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) oil leases in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to expand fossil fuel development in the United States. 

Then reported by, NBC news,  On June 1, 2021, The Biden administration suspended oil and gas leases in Alaska’s Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, reversing a drilling program approved by the Trump administration and reviving a political fight over a remote region that is home to polar bears and other wildlife — and a rich reserve of oil. Unfortunately, the good news did not last long.

According to WSJ, A federal judge in Louisiana issued a preliminary injunction blocking the Biden administration from pausing new oil and gas leases on federal land.

Judge Terry A. Doughty of the U.S. District Court in Monroe said the administration doesn’t have the legal right to stop leasing federal territory for oil-and-gas production without approval from Congress.

The judge, appointed by former President Donald Trump, also said that states suing the federal government—largely southern and coastal states—will be harmed immediately as the pause prevents them from collecting lease bids and bonuses from oil-and-gas prospectors.

The suit was filed by the states of Louisiana, Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Georgia, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Texas, Utah and West Virginia.

Mr. Biden, during his first week in office, directed the Interior Department to suspend the program, among several new initiatives aimed at addressing climate change.

If humans can eliminate or reduce beef from their diet, , we can save these precious forests. Remember, when a forest is lost, there are truly little no chance to recover. It’s gone forever. Because the forests did not grow in one, it took hundreds of years to grow. 

Anyways, I am sad to learn these facts but there is still time to do something. Please spread the message through social medias or whatever ways you feel comfortable and ask people to eliminate or reduce beef from their diet.
