“#Climate activists call on insurers to ditch climate-wrecking #EACOP project”

by Hannah Sharland in @thecanaryuk

“On 30 August, climate activists staged a protest against multiple insurance companies. The coalition of campaigners from #MoneyRebellion, #CoalActionNetwork, #StopEACOP, #ExtinctionRebellion, #StopRosebank, and #JustStopOil demonstrated outside the offices of a series of #Lloyds of London members. They were targeting agents that have refused to rule out insuring the controversial East African Crude Oil Pipeline (EACOP).”

BREAKING: @GretaThunberg protests the Rosebank oil field outside of @energygovuk.
It would produce more CO2 than 28 countries do in a year, burning past climate targets. It won't help our energy security or bills but will still get a £3.75 billion tax break. #StopRosebank

#MothersRiseUp: Thank you to everyone that joined us today, especially those parents coming out in the school holidays with children & babes in arms.

We are determined to fight this government’s reckless expansion of fossil fuels - together, we are stronger & we won’t give up!

You can't have it both ways, banqueting with fossil fuels one day and slumming with emission targets the next. The UK government tells Global South countries to reduce their emissions — and then announces a massive expansion of fossil fuel development. #StopRosebank

Some photos from yesterday’s march in London against Rosebank oil field in the North Sea.
Drilling Rosebank was expected to be approved this month, despite the catastrophic climate impacts. But this has now been delayed until the autumn - a win for campaigners but not enough until it’s cancelled!

👇Here is what #Health org. representing 46 millions health pro. say about #FossilFuels:
"All nations must deliver a rapid & just transition away from #FossilFuels, starting with immediately cutting all related permits.."

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.
More very soon for @CityAM

🚨THIS MORNING🚨 At 11am I’m leading a debate in Parliament urging Govt to #StopRosebank. This climate-wrecking oil field won’t help energy security (it will mostly be exported), it won’t cut energy bills - but will cost taxpayers £3.75bn.

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

Today in #Aberdeen #Scotland
Aberdeen Wave of Resistance To #StopRosebank

At the beach near Fittie from 11am

https://actionnetwork.org/events/aberdeen-wave-of-resistance-to-stoprosebank

🚨Today's news that we could hit 1.5C within a few years confirms what we already knew: that new fossil fuels *have* to stay in the ground. If Sunak is serious about climate leadership, he must cancel the Cumbria coal mine, drop the 100+ new oil & gas licences, and #StopRosebank

“Every minute spent talking about Rosebank is a minute not spent scaling up renewables, insulating people’s homes and delivering economic opportunity in green industries for communities across the country” - ⁦@tessakhan⁩ 👏👏👏 #StopRosebank https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/apr/25/tory-former-net-zero-tsar-chris-skidmore-calls-for-halt-to-rosebank-north-sea-oil-project

I don’t agree with Chris Skidmore on many things, but on no new oil & gas and #StopRosebank I absolutely do - he’s spot on 👇 https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/apr/25/tory-mp-net-zero-rosebank-oilfield

Energy security & cheaper bills don't come from allowing highly-subsidised, foreign-owned fossil fuel giants to extract yet more oil & gas. They come from abundant & affordable renewables, insulating the nation & skilled green jobs.

We must #StopRosebank
