Approving the Jackdaw gas field solves none of our problems, while contributing to the existential crisis of climate breakdown. The government has privileged special interests above the general interest. It's a shameful, cowardly decision.

The🧵 👇also fact-checks the claim, Jackdaw gas were 4x less climate-damaging than imported LNG. The main point I see in the 🧵: comparing imported LNG to Jackdaw's CO2e intentionally omits today's biggest import source: Norway's pipeline gas, which comes with -ooops– the lowest CO2e of all 3 options.

In any case, it's not either-or but both-and. It's not as if, once Jackdaw comes on stream, other countries and FF companies will reduce their production: they'll just keep going and flog it somewhere else, so we get the worst of both worlds.

Yeah… big FF probably already designs marketing campaigns for the time when all gas boilers got decommissioned, to make hydrogen out of Jackdaw gas. Creating new demand early ensures longtime profits for shareholders. Dyk, which college and uni courses teach such psychopathy so we can end them?
