By announcing hundreds of new oil and gas licences, Rishi Sunak, has become a “dangerous radical” pursuing “moral and economic madness”.

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

Britain's biggest gas supplier made £15 BILLION in the first 6 months of 2023.

📈 Energy bills have doubled since 2021.

AND Equinor UK are still due to get £3.75 billion from the government to open the biggest oil field in the UK.

Please ask the to and
The govt is planning to approve Equinor's massive Rosebank oil field.

We are currently way off track to limit warming to 1.5°C, which is deemed the safest, liveable temperature rise still possible.

Burning the in existing projects will push us past this target. Adding new developments like Rosebank will push us closer to parts of our world becoming uninhabitable.

If greenlit, Rosebank oil field would produce more emissions than 28 low-income countries *combined*. Yet Govt is set to gift profiteering oil giant Equinor a £3.75bn taxpayer-funded subsidy to develop it. This is ludicrous - Govt is funding our planet's destruction

As if Govt needed any more reasons to oil field – now we learn key Rosebank contractor caused UK’s largest recent oil spill, releasing *238 tonnes* of diesel into Marine Protected Area off Shetland. Approving this climate-wrecking oil field would be morally obscene.

Rishi Sunak and Business Secretary Grant Shapps are hell-bent on approving new oil and gas fields. First on their plate is - the biggest undeveloped field in the North Sea. It’s CO2 emissions would be more than the annual emissions of the 28 countries lowest-income countries combined.

“this is oil for export [...] The only winners would be the oil and gas companies that own these reserves off the Shetland coast”

Half a billion £ in subsidies for Rosebank, when we know oil is killing us. Our government have sold us out.

The UK government is preparing to approve the biggest undeveloped field in the North Sea - Rosebank.

Rosebank WON’T lower bills or make our energy more secure. But it WILL produce pollution equal to the world’s 28 lowest-income countries.

The fight to starts now.
