Huge news from the UK today: after UN climate talks in which there was a massive fight over language on fossil fuels, the UK government today announced that it will in fact be keeping many millions of barrels of oil & gas in the ground. Deeds rather than just words for a change! 🧵

Trump’s Scotland visit wasn’t just about golf. His call to "Get rid of the windmills and bring back the oil" is an attempt to meddle in our energy transition. We have abundant wind resources which can provide us with energy security, lower bills, and good jobs. @jeremyvine.bsky.social

Another day, another story from the oil & gas industry that's all spin. The latest claim is there's an extra 3.5-ish bn barrels of O&G there for the taking in the North Sea, which would generate huge riches for the UK. Except the underlying analysis confirms this is "beyond realistic assumptions" /1

The UK gov has just published new guidance for environmental impact assessments for oil & gas projects. Despite reports/industry spin, it includes a genuinely robust, credible approach to assessing the emissions caused by burning oil & gas. Let's take a look! 🧵 www.heraldscotland.com/news/2525207...

@laurenthesunflower.bsky.social tells #earthfest: “The UK has been through harrowing austerity: 6m households in energy poverty. Yet Equinor has made record profits. Oil and gas is making the obscenely rich obscenely richer - at the expense of everyone else”

1 MILLION PEOPLE signed this petition calling on the UK government to stop new oil and gas. That's a pretty huge deal. Humbled to bring your voices to no. 10. #StopRosebank

Lots of claims flying around this week (eg Nigel Farage who thinks we can be "self-sufficient" in gas) that the UK can drill its way to energy security. Here's why that's a fantasy, as I explained to Reform's Richard Tice on LBC earlier:

Good to see opposition to Rosebank growing, in addition to the broad group that already sees through the arguments of profiteering oil & gas giants (more on that ⬇️). But the arguments against this field are about so much more than carbon emissions: www.theguardian.com/environment/... 🧵

Oil giants know the cost of their actions, but they keep relentlessly pushing for more oil and gas. So it’s up to us to stand in the way, to hold governments accountable to standing in their way, and to take it to the courts where needed to stop disastrous projects like Rosebank once and for all.

Every single fraction of a degree of warming that we stop is countless lives saved. It will always be worth it.
