36] – Stop the Money Pipeline [info@stopthemoneypipeline.com] on Wed., Oct. 30 at 2 PM ET will do a webinar Frontline Dispatch: LNG and The Gulf Coast with James Hiatt. Hiatt will talk about his experience battling the expansion of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) and methane in the U.S. Gulf South. James is a third generation former oil worker from Louisiana and the founder of For a Better Bayou. In recent years, there has been an aggressive LNG buildout on the U.S. Gulf coast with over 20 LNG projects proposed. LNG is a huge climate risk, because methane gas has more than 80 times the warming power of carbon dioxide over the first 20 years after it reaches the atmosphere.  RSVP to learn how you can support the fight for environmental justice in your communities:  https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_3nlTd6FBRaOunGQbdu6JYA#/registration?link_id=0&can_id=4b9d4061aec5469758759317ac0f5285&source=email-this-wednesday-frontline-dispatch-webinar-lng-and-the-gulf-coast&email_referrer=email_2509436___subject_3048863&email_subject=webinar-this-wednesday-lng-and-the-gulf-coast
