Leading UK climate scientists warn against new North Sea drilling ft.trib.al/sXRmhcj
Did @BBCr4today really just do a whole package about drilling in the N Sea without once even mentioning #climate change? And not having anyone challenging the one-sided claims of former BP boss? So irresponsible #bbcr4today
It is blowing my mind how many people don’t seem able to grasp that oil & gas in the North Sea is not “ours” but was sold off to private companies who will trade it on the international market like any other fuel. We don’t get any kind of privileged access to this fuel.
Ed Miliband must now resign. His position is untenable.
Drilling for more oil & gas in the North Sea won't lower bills, it won't make us more energy independent and it won't insulate us from price shocks. A Labour backslide on this would be a huge betrayal. Double down on renewables. Insulate every home. Lower bills, permanently.

New from President Trump:
Miliband is caving into Reform pressure to approve drilling that he knows won't lower bills. The solution for permanently lower bills is to go all out on renewables, not dance to the tune of fossil fuel lobbyists and their friends in politics.
8️⃣ A fair transition for the North Sea. The first G7 oil and gas producing country to end new oil, gas and coal licences. Ensuring no community is left behind, with offshore workers leading the world in the industries of the future. Banning fracking for good.
A huge betrayal. Won't lower bills. Won't give us more energy security. Won't insulate from price shocks. And sends a clear message to the world that we are backing new oil and gas drilling.
