🚨NEW: #Rosebank oil field won’t improve energy security or cut bills – but it will shatter our climate commitments & demolish global leadership. If Govt doesn't block Rosebank, it's complicit in this climate crime.

Thanks to everyone who's reshared the post so far🙏🏽 ! If you haven't signed the petition yet, please do! With today's announcement that "the Prime Minister has confirmed hundreds of new #oil and #gas licenses will be granted in the #UK", https://www.gov.uk/government/news/hundreds-of-new-north-sea-oil-and-gas-licences-to-boost-british-energy-independence-and-grow-the-economy-31-july-2023. it shows how tone deaf #RishiSunak is and how important it is to stop #Rosebank in itself but also to kill once & for all ecocidal #climatebreakdown policies! Thanks for signing the petition, link at the top of the thread 👆🏽

#GretaThunberg travelled to the UK today to protest against the explotation of the #Rosebank #oil field, off the coast of #Scotland.
Rosebank is almost 3 times the size of #Cambo - the #oilfield that people coming together have successfully stopped in 2021.

The #UK #parliament has deferred debating the licensing of the #oilrig to after recess, Sept 4th. It is therefore perfect timing now to sign the petition https://www.change.org/p/tell-the-uk-government-to-stop-new-oil-and-gas-fields?redirect=false

Memo to Govt: #Rosebank oil field - producing 200 million tonnes of CO2 if burned - isn’t going to become any more compatible with net zero after Recess either. You must reject it right now. #StopRosebank

Nicholas Earl: BREAKING: Rosebank will NOT BE APPROVED by recess, and faces at least a month long delay over concerns of its viability with net zero.

Govt's own climate advisers are crystal clear - expanding fossil fuels is not compatible with net zero. So why are Ministers even *considering* approving #Rosebank oil field, wrecking climate targets &amp; trashing climate leadership?

All those involved in #Rosebank, the biggest undeveloped oil field in the North Sea - fossil fuel giant @Equinor for drilling it, this Govt for approving it, banks &amp; insurers for funding it - are complicit in this climate crime. Rosebank must be stopped.

#Rosebank expected to be approved despite government climate advisers saying it is ‘utterly unacceptable’ https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/jun/29/campaigners-vow-to-step-up-action-against-new-north-sea-oilfield

Wow. @theCCCuk rips to shreds outrageous Govt claims that fossil fuel expansion is necessary before we reach net zero. This should be nail in the coffin for #Rosebank, the biggest undeveloped oil field in the North Sea, which could get Govt approval imminently. It must be stopped https://t.co/JQi1HwReO2

Re In less than an hour, I'll be grilling Govt Minister on the fact that #Rosebank won't help our energy security, won't cut people's energy bills, but will do untold damage to our climate. It's both unnecessary and unjustifiable 👇

Total gaslighting from Minister in #Rosebank debate just now. How on Earth can new North Sea oil &amp; gas licences *not* mean fossil fuel expansion? And expansion which @theCCCuk clearly says today simply must not happen. You have to wonder about the people running this country... https://t.co/D79NXARnui

Will you block #Rosebank?
Do you agree we need to keep fossil fuels in the ground? Otherwise there is no future.

I’ve come to #NSLive because no party has a monopoly on wisdom. Never been before. Slightly concerned that the framing of the programme is wedded to language of the past-eg ‘how do we grow the UK economy?’ @UKLabour wedded to #Rosebank. https://n.respublicae.eu/carolinelucas/status/1673617305970851840

You couldn’t get a cigarette paper between @UKLabour and @Conservatives at #NSLive today. They are both locked in to fossil fuels #Rosebank and woefully lacking in sustainable solutions. They, like fossil fuels, have had their day. Move over. We need a sustainable future

Hi @BBCSimonJack
Given evidence of accelerating climate crisis, was shocked to hear your interviewee claiming #Rosebank &amp; #Jackdaw are environment-friendly fossil fuels
This sort of disinformation will drive us to destruction
Who will you invite on to balance this?

Net Zero Watch spreads deeply dangerous climate denial & delay. Shameful that Tory MPs like Andrea Jenkyns, whose party could be about to approve climate-wrecking #Rosebank, are at the heart of it. Time to kick dirty fossil fuel interests out of politics.

Spot on from @Pontifex. We know the fossil fuel era is over - yet UK Govt still blindly pursues a new coal mine in Cumbria, over 100 new oil & gas licences and could approve climate-wrecking #Rosebank. All new fossil fuels simply must stay in the ground.

The #IPCC is spot on - the fossil fuel era is over. Govt must heed this final warning and cancel Cumbria coal mine, drop #Rosebank oil field, and unblock onshore wind & solar *now*. The evidence is clear, the solutions are here - now let’s see the action

Hope you're listening to #IPCC report right now @RishiSunak. Just in case you didn't catch them say fossil fuels belong in the past, some policies for you:

- cancel Cumbria coal mine
- drop #Rosebank oil field
- end de facto onshore wind ban
- put solar panels on all new homes

Hva @Equinor@twitter.com sier: vi bryr oss om #MorgendagensHelter & grønn omstilling 👀

Hva: #Equinor gjør: jobber for å åpne #Rosebank, det største uutviklede oljefeltet i Nordsjøen som vil produsere mer CO2 enn de samlede årlige utslippene fra verdens 28 lavinntektsland😑
