Earthjustice Statement on Obama Admin’s Findings on Climate Impacts From Federal Coal Mining

Earthjustice supports the Bureau of Land Management's (BLM) finding that federal coal accounts for 11 percent of total U.S. greenhouse gas emissions and urges the U.S. government to transition from a fossil fuel economy to renewable energy by ending new coal leases on public lands.

• The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) report identifies that CO2 emissions from federal coal represent 11 percent of the total greenhouse gases in the United States and asserts that the impacts of climate change affect almost every part of public welfare.
• The Obama administration's Interior Department is evaluating options to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the federal coal program, which includes considering a total end to all new leases.
