The whole operation is just seething resentment and anger. How can they be so entitled but so chippy at the same time. Sniffing the farts of those with more money and pissing on those with less…

Nobody asked any Palestinians what they think, because our politicians and media outlets very plainly do not regard Palestinians as people. They would not have behaved the way they have for many years now, if they view Palestinians as proper human beings with rights, rather than as orcs or zombies.

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.

Labour's approval of the Jackdaw gas field won't cut household energy bills or improve energy security. We need investment in cheap, green renewables to create jobs and cut our bills.

Chancellor John Healey says a new "Energy Wealth Fund", using tax revenue from oil and gas extraction, will invest in "green transition" There was no need to increase the problems caused by drilling to allow the end goal of going green to be reached. This is such a stupid statement

Labour approving more fossil gas at Jackdaw is a violent act, helping no one but Shell. Miatta Fahnbulleh defending this by saying it fits within UK net zero targets only confirms how feeble those are. ✨Not expanding✨ oil and gas is the absolute least govt can do, and they won’t do even that.

decdan.bsky.social reposted

The bad arguments that the gov have made to defend Jackdaw (and potentially Rosebank) are the same bad arguments for continuing with new fossil projects. If Jackdaw is good ("homegrown gas"), why is the next new gas field bad? The gov's position is now worryingly unclear.

James Murray@james-bg.bsky.social

Earlier this summer, leading climate experts called on the government to use the decisions on Jackdaw and Rosebank to develop a roadmap to ‘defossilise’ the economy. If these projects are approved, make it clear they’re the last. Where’s that plan? www.businessgreen.com/news/4534641...

Jackdaw won't cut your bill. The gas sells on a world market, so drilling here doesn't change what you pay. What would: public investment in homegrown renewables, paid for by the government that issues the pound. #MMT #UKGreenParty #Economics #UKPolitics #UKEconomics

The 2026 UNEP Emissions Gap Report is out: The Point of Return. 🌍🌡️🔥 It's sobering but actionable. Decades of inadequate climate action have closed off opportunities to limit warming, but ambitious action today can still prevent much greater harm. A thread of some of the highlights 🧵

Unless you work in strategic defence planning you probably won't realise what horror this truly means. Even at a mid-century global average of 1.8°C it means enough pressure on governance systems and authorities to 'collapse' states, magnify civil violence and fuel many more armed conflicts.

The Labour government of @andyburnham.bsky.social and @miattafahnbulleh.bsky.social should hide their faces in shame. Britain can never again claim to lead the way on climate action after this highly irresponsible message to the global oil & gas industry that business as usual is OK. It is not.

Unthinkable that Labour has doubled down on fossil fuels by approving Jackdaw – a total betrayal of future generations & contradiction of govts own climate goals. The science is clear: the only way to secure a prosperous future in the face of climate breakdown is to keep fossil fuels in the ground.

Catastrophic misjudgement by the UK government. The financial arguments are bogus. They'd quickly make far more for the public purse if they created a publicly owned solar and wind power industry whose profits were for the treasury and to do more renewables. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cw...

'We're resolute about the need to drive climate action. But that has to be part of a transition'. Opening new gas fields as part of a transition to net zero makes about as much sense as restocking your drinks cabinet as part of a transition to sobriety.
