Planning for 3°C doesn't make it survivable - but it makes it seem so As Ben Shread-Hewitt and I explain in this recent article...

Almost 600 scientists, ecologists, health professionals and more have called on Andy Burnham to reject the re-submitted application for drilling Rosebank The science is abundantly clear - we cannot open new oil and gas fields. @profbillmcguire.bsky.social
It sounds great doesn't it, but the Quest data centre, the theme park already has its eyes on all that lovely cheap electricity. We cannot survive unless we cut energy use. Instead we keep thinking up new ways to squander it all. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

As the Jackdaw and Rosebank decisions pop up again I'm going to repeat post this link. It's a helpful read.
I was asked by a colleague from my oil & gas days (who has remained in the industry) why UK producing its own gas is less acceptable to the Greens (& others) than importing it from America and West Africa.' The full question & my reply is now online at: climateuncensored.com/there-is-no-...
And meanwhile the gohead for 'Sea Lion' passes under the radar. I mean are the Falklands British or not? Because if it's not our oil why doesn't it count? Are we planning to blame Argentina for climate collapse after we drill out all the money? bsky.app/profile/thie...
Meanwhile... "the foreign secretary has approved new drilling in the Sea Lion field, which is estimated to hold 1.7 billion barrels of oil and expected to start producing from 2028."
Despite the cost of living crisis, many, many people are doing everything they can to avert the climate crisis. And the government is fucking them over a barrel.
NEW ANALYSIS: Expensive gas behind "nearly 90%" of rise in UK household electricity bills since 2020 + 77% of the rise in gas bills Contrary to what you've seen in media / political narratives, net-zero is "helping to shelter Britain from the impact of expensive gas", says @acjsissons.bsky.social
The wording isn't strong enough. I had to add and change a bit. Politely of course #Jackdaw #Rosebank act.greenpeace.org/page/203021/...

Jackdaw: a decision for last century. climateuncensored.com/jackdaw-a-de... A hastily drafted post following the UK Govt’s decision to approve further drilling & production at the Jackdaw gas field in the North Sea. Please excuse typos, non-sequiturs, etc - I wanted to get the post online today.

An informative thread that leaves one realising, that because it's going to do very little to help and the message it sends is hugely damaging it should have been a flat no.
The problem is not really Jackdaw, which is pretty small. The problem is the UK's plan to transition away from fossil fuels is still not ambitious and detailed enough. The problem is if Rosebank follows. The problem is if every country develops one last fossil fuel project we're all screwed.

Today's decision by Labour to approve new drilling in the North Sea is climate vandalism. It's a betrayal of all of our futures, and Labour has abandoned all credibility in the fight against climate change. This is a victory for Shell over the people. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cw...

Oh look we are getting sucked into the Yemen again.
The RAF will fly defensive missions to protect Saudi from Ansarallah attacks, as per Bloomberg. In my Autumn 2026 predictions for the UK, I'd said that the Andy Burnham govt. "is likely to take imprudent decisions in foreign policy." This seems to be one of the highest order of imprudence. #UK

That is very true. I've had the privilege to cooperate with both Israeli environmentalists opposing the war on Gaza and Ukrainian climate activists working to expedite the energy transition, and I wish more of the int'l climate movement acknowledged the intersections of war and the climate crisis.
