     paragraph (1) leased for oil production as a result of such 
     plan unless such fossil industry entity submits to the 
     Secretary a plan for--

       ``(I) reducing the total global warming pollution of the 
     fossil industry entity by 2030 by not less than 50 percent of 
     the total global warming pollution of the fossil industry 
     entity in calendar year 2022, without the use of offsets;
       ``(II) eliminating the total global warming pollution of 
     the fossil industry entity by 2050, without the use of 
     offsets; and
       ``(III) allowing, in any given calendar year, the release 
     into the atmosphere of not more than 1 percent of the methane 
     brought to the surface through such oil production

       ``(ii) Definitions.--In this subparagraph:

       ``(I) Fossil industry entity.--The term `fossil industry 
     entity' means an entity or individual that engages in the 
     production, purchase, or sale of oil or natural gas.
       ``(II) Global warming pollution.--The term `global warming 
     pollution' includes each of the following:

       ``(aa) Any gas that is determined by the Secretary to trap 
     heat in the atmosphere, contributing to an increase in heat 
     waves, flooding, drought, sea level rise, storm intensity, 
     disease, disruption of agricultural production, or ecosystem 
     disruption.
       ``(bb) Carbon dioxide.

       ``(gg) Any perfluorocarbon.
       ``(hh) Nitrogen trifluoride.
       ``(ii) Any fully fluorinated linear, branched, or cyclic--
       ``(AA) alkane;
       ``(BB) ether;
       ``(CC) tertiary amine; or

       ``(jj) Any perfluoropolyether.
       ``(kk) Any hydrofluoropolyether.
       ``(ll) Any other fluorocarbon, except for a fluorocarbon 
     with a vapor pressure of less than 1 mm of Hg absolute at 25 
     degrees Celsius.

       ``(III) Total global warming pollution.--The term `total 
     global warming pollution' means, with respect to a fossil 
     industry entity, the aggregate amount by weight of global 
     warming pollution released into the atmosphere in association 
     with the production, processing, refinement, transportation, 
     combustion, and use of oil or natural gas that is produced, 
     purchased, or sold by the fossil industry entity.
