🚨 It’s time to cut the Permian Basin climate bomb off at the source.

Located in southeast New Mexico and west Texas, the Permian is pumping more oil than anywhere else on Earth — and has been for years. Production has more than quadrupled in the past decade, and it’s projected to keep growing aggressively for decades to come.

And it's a hellscape. Wells are spewing toxic emissions and leaking flammable gases daily. Exxon has reported 778 spills of climate-warming emissions — in New Mexico alone. This is a disaster for public health, the climate, and frontline communities.

If you're working on climate in any capacity, the Permian is undermining your work.
