BREAKING: Environmental groups filed suit to stop ConocoPhillips's Willow oil project in Alaska, which the Biden administration approved Monday against the opposition of green NGOs and Democratic lawmakers, who argued it will worsen climate change.

Plaintiffs are asking a federal court to toss the record of decision approving the project to consider alternatives that could have reduced greenhouse gas emissions and on-the-ground effects.

"This approval of an enormous new carbon source undermines President Biden’s promises to slash greenhouse-gas emissions in half by 2030 and transition the United States to clean energy. Trustees for Alaska has filed a separate legal challenge on behalf of Sovereign Inupiat for a Living Arctic and conservation groups," said the groups, led by Earthjustice.
