#UKGovernment admits new #OilField approved unlawfully
James Cook
BBC Scotland editor
November 13, 2024"The UK government has admitted in court that the country's largest untapped oilfield, #Rosebank off #Shetland, was approved unlawfully.
"The move came during a case brought by #ClimateCampaigners against both Rosebank and the #JackdaGasField in the #NorthSea.
"At the Court of Session in Edinburgh Chris Pirie KC, for the government, accepted that assessments did not include 'the effects on climate of the combustion of oil and gas to be extracted from the fields.'
"Rosebank was given the green light on 27 September 2023 and Jackdaw on 1 June 2022, both by the previous #Conservative administration.
"As part of the consenting process, the government was required to consider #EnvironmentalImpact assessments about the fields.
"These took into account the impact on #ClimateChange of emissions caused by the process of extracting oil and gas but not of #GreenhouseGases which would be released when the #FossilFuels were eventually burned."
[...]
"The firms involved — #Shell, #Equinor, and #IthacaEnergy — say they should be allowed to carry on with drilling because permission was granted in good faith under the law as it was understood at the time."

What do you expect when #COP28 already copped out? It was sold before it existed.
Can we stop giving the benefit of the doubt to the #oilExecs now? Yes? Thank you!
