WASHINGTON — The Green Party of the United States EcoAction Committee has joined hundreds of other climate groups in urging President-elect Biden to take bold executive action on day one of his administration to treat climate change as a national emergency.

The Green Party of the United States (GPUS) deplores the escalating Middle East conflict that has resulted in the bombing of two major Saudi oil fields. The damage has cut Saudi oil exports by half and destabilized world oil markets.

Nevertheless GPUS takes this as an object lesson on why the world must abandon its addiction to both fossil fuel and nuclear power generation in favor of renewable energy.
