Greenhouse gas emissions continue to go up, yet scientists say we must nearly halve emissions by 2030 in order to avoid the worst impacts of the climate crisis. So why is the UK Government still approving new North Sea oil and gas fields in direct violation of scientific warnings from the UN and IPCC?
Rosebank is a massive North Sea oil and gas field which would produce over 200 million tonnes of CO2 – more than the combined yearly emissions of 28 low income countries – yet the UK Government is inexplicably allowing it to go forward. But it must be stopped.
