In what many are calling a major victory for the climate movement, the Biden administration on Friday paused approvals for new liquified natural gas export terminals. In Louisiana, environmental justice activist Roishetta Sibley Ozane helped push for the change and calls the pause “a monumental decision in the fight for climate justice,” a result of years of organizing by activists and frontline communities. “There is nothing natural about releasing methane pollution into the community where children play.”
