This is the most wildly irresponsible government decision I can remember.

The Tories serve only the interests of those who profit from the destruction of our world.

Hundreds of new North Sea oil and gas licences announced

It comes as climate activists say the approvals would be a 'death sentence'.

@patrickharvie I think a lot of people are forgetting that we still need oil as a society. It would be great if we could just stop oil production tomorrow, but we can’t, and approving new oil and gas licenses doesn’t mean that the government isn’t doing anything about climate change.

To be clear, I think the lack of urgency in politics is pretty alarming, but getting angry at every drop of oil coming out of the earth is pretty unhelpful.
