This is a horrendous decision: Rosebank, the largest untapped oilfield in UK waters, has been approved by the UK government. This comes via the regulator, the North Sea Transition Authority, which is in severe need of reform.

Over the last few weeks, I’ve been working on a podcast series about the structure and ownership of the UK oil sector, because this is essential understanding for dismantling it. It’s been eye-opening, but empowering. It’ll be out in 2-3 weeks.

@helenczerski Horrendous indeed. It’s consistent with the Prime Minister’s latest announcement that he’s delayed his commitment to net zero. If we eventually get there, it’ll be with a higher global temperature. We need a government that recognises climate change as an urgent priority.
