Why is this important?
The government is on the verge of approving the enormous, climate-wrecking Rosebank oilfield.
Rosebank would generate a total of 254 million tonnes of CO₂ in greenhouse gas emissions over its lifetime. That’s the equivalent of nearly 70% of the UK's entire annual emissions in 2024.
After a summer of wildfires, heatwaves and droughts, and already two devastating storms this autumn in the UK - we can’t afford new fossil fuels that would only make the climate crisis worse and would do nothing to lower our energy bills.
Right now Andy Burnham’s top team is split on whether to approve Rosebank, and a decision is imminent. MPs will soon debate Rosebank in Parliament. We urgently need everyone to email their MP and ask them to go to the debate and call on the Prime Minister to reject Rosebank. We can still influence this decision.
Can you email your MP and call on them to tell Andy Burnham to reject Rosebank?
