Our comments largely focus on GHG emissions associated with the project and oil spill response capacity. The IPCC’s 2019 Production Gap Report concluded that the world's governments intend to exploit fossil fuels that are incompatible with a safe planet: Oil and gas are also on track to exceed carbon budgets, as countries continue to invest in fossil fuel infrastructure that “locks in” oil and gas use. The effects of this lock-in widen the production gap over time, until countries are producing 43% (36 million barrels per day) more oil and 47% (1,800 billion cubic meters) more gas by 2040 than would be consistent with a 2°C ...
