Controversial #JackdawGasField set to be approved in weeks, sources say
Simon Jack, 3 September 2026
"The #UK government is set to give the go-ahead for a controversial new #GasField off the coast of #Aberdeen, the BBC understands.
"Approval for the Jackdaw project could come in mid-September, just before #Parliament breaks for party conference season, according to government and industry sources.
"The gas field was approved by the former #ConservativeGovernment in 2022 but was delayed by a legal ruling from a #ScottishCourt, after #EnvironmentalGroups argued consent was given without fully considering the #ClimateImpact.
"Jackdaw's owner says it will account for 6% of UK gas output when at peak production but environmental groups say it will provide only 2% of UK use when imports are included.
"Campaigners launched legal challenges after Jackdaw was approved in 2022 and when the #RosebankOilField off #Shetland was given the green light in 2023.
"The Court of Session in Edinburgh ruled last year that #Rosebank and Jackdaw had been unlawfully approved because the government had failed to take into account the climate impact of burning extracted #OilAndGas from the sites.
"A judge ruled that more detailed climate assessments had to be published, and further estimates were put out for consultation in July.
"Both Jackdaw and Rosebank are operated by #Adura, a joint venture between energy giants #ShellOil and Norway's #Equinor. Aberdeen-based firm Ithaca also owns 20% of Rosebank.
"Adura has estimated that Jackdaw could produce 35.8m tonnes of carbon over its 11-year lifetime, the equivalent of 90% of Scotland's emissions for 2023. But it said a more likely estimate was about 23.6m tonnes - equivalent to 60% of the 2023 figure.
" #Environmentalists insist that more #drilling would be unconscionable, hampering efforts to cut planet-warming carbon emissions as deadly #heatwaves and #ExtremeWeather affect billions across the globe.
"They also say starting production would not protect energy security and that transitioning sooner to #GreenerTechnologies would be better for supporting jobs."

Golden rapeseed fields stretch towards the horizon, where the #NorthSea meets a rugged headland, creating a serene #CoastalView. The peaceful countryside is dotted with small villages, offering a glimpse of rural life amidst the vibrant #RapeseedField. In the distance, the silhouette of historic ruins crowns the cliff, a reminder of the area’s rich heritage and its appeal to walkers and sightseers. A soft #SunsetSky paints the landscape in warm hues, perfectly complementing this tranquil corner of the British #Countryside.

Empty #NorthSea oil fields could store enough #green #hydrogen to power the country for 7 years
Depleted oil & #gas fields can be refilled with hydrogen made from our surplus #wind & #solar power
Suitable depleted North Sea fields could provide 3,659 terawatt-hours of hydrogen storage, equivalent to more than 7 years of projected #UK #electricity demand in 2040. This could also take conventional gas power stations off the rid altogether by 2040 ...

https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/aug/20/unites-mixed-message-on-the-global-heating. The #Unite Union really ought to join the dots, as we're NOT talking #rocket #science, here, but #climate science! On the one hand, they're complaining about their #members suffering the #effects of #heatwaves - rightly so - but, on the other, they want more #oil & #gas #drilling in the #NorthSea! What the F**K do they think causes #globalheating?! You extract #fossilfuels, you burn them, that puts more #CO2 in the #atmosphere.

https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/aug/20/ministers-are-in-denial-about-the-scale-of-the-crises-we-face. This #letter writer, Dr Amy McDonnell, wants the #Government to start getting its act together on #climate #adaptation - which is all well & good, & doubtless necessary, but that same Government needs to act with far greater #urgency on climate #mitigation, too - & there must be absolutely NO more talk about further #drilling for #oil & #gas in the #NorthSea!

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2026/aug/05/murderous-heat-climate-disaster-mediterranean-life-radical-right. Only too true, @georgemonbiot.bsky.social - so why are "Labour" collaborating by approving more #oil & #gas #drilling in the #NorthSea? Doesn't Andy #Burnham know there is a #climate #emergency? Does he WANT #progressives to vote for the #Greens?

UK newspapers have already published 63 editorials this year calling for more #oil and #gas extraction in the #NorthSea, according to Carbon Brief analysis.
The national outlets, including the #Sun, the #DailyTelegraph and the #Times, argue that the nation “needs” more North Sea #drilling to provide “home-sourced oil and gas” amid a “full-blown energy crisis”.
These newspapers seek to blame energy secretary Ed Miliband’s “net-zero crusade” for curbing UK fossil-fuel production – despite supplies dwindling for decades before he took the role.

"Steve Wright, the general secretary of the #FireBrigades Union, said its members were on the frontline of the #climatecrisis dealing with #wildfires & #heatwaves. He added: 'We see first-hand the need for urgent #ClimateAction & that must include restrictions on #drilling in the #NorthSea.'" So, Wes #Streeting & Sharon Graham of #Unite - you want MORE #oilandgas, more #carbon #emissions - in the midst of the worst ever #European #heatwave!

‘A national scandal’: trawlers scour seabeds of supposedly protected #UK waters
Almost 40% of #England’s seas are designated as #marineprotectedareas.
‘Precious ocean life is being pushed to the brink,’ say campaigners, arguing #overfished marine areas are ‘protected only on paper’
Report found #NorthSea & #CelticSea cod, #IrishSea whiting, Irish Sea herring and North Sea and east #EnglishChannel horse mackerel at critically low levels, yet continued to be overfished.

And how much economic damage is from climate change and pollution from #FossilFuels? #BigOil is the real criminal here!
#ClimateProtesters are taking action against Big Oil. UK courts are handing them prison terms akin to rapists and thieves
By Kara Fox, CNN
September 14, 2024London CNN — "As #RightWing rioters attacked communities with #racist violence across parts of the UK last month, 22-year-old #ClimateActivist #CressieGethin sat in a prison cell.
"Her crime? Organizing a disruptive protest against new government-granted licenses to drill for oil — a planet-heating #FossilFuel — in the #NorthSea.
"In late July, a London court found #Gethin and four other members of the #JustStopOil activist group guilty of 'conspiring intentionally to cause a #PublicNuisance,' after recruiting protesters to climb structures along the M25 — a major ring road around London — bringing traffic to a standstill in parts over four days in November 2022.
"Prosecutors alleged that the protests, organized over a #ZoomCall, disrupted more than 700,000 drivers, caused economic damage of over £760,000 ($980,000) and racked up £1 million ($1.3m) in policing costs.
"Now Gethin and three others — Louise Lancaster, #DanielShaw and #LuciaWhittakerDeAbreu, who planned the disruption on the call — are serving four-year jail terms, while Just Stop Oil co-founder #RogerHallam was given five years. All are appealing.
"The sentences are believed to be the longest in the UK’s history for #nonviolent protest and were delivered under two new controversial laws that supercharged #policing powers to crack down on disruptive protests, even when they are peaceful.
"They place the act of planning a 'public nuisance' event, which carries a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison, on a similar footing as #ViolentCrimes like robbery, for which punishments range from community service to 12 years’ jail, or rape, which is four to 19 years.
"The judge — who in court referred to the activists as '#extremists' — justified the long jail terms because all five activists had previously been convicted of one or more offenses in relation to direct action protest. Each were on bail for another set of proceedings when the Zoom call took place. He also noted people missed important doctor’s visits and funerals because of the protest.
"But activists like Gethin say their demonstrations are proportionate to the problem at hand — a rapidly warming world that threatens to transform life as we know it, through deadly #ExtremeWeather events and by pushing #ecosystems to their brinks. They are now battling the bolstered powers of the #police and courts to get their point across.
“'A very harsh sentence like this doesn’t make sense morally or legally — but it does make sense politically,' Gethin told CNN in a handwritten letter from HMP Bronzefield, a women’s prison just south of London’s Heathrow Airport.
"The laws have drawn criticism from the UN’s special rapporteur on #EnvironmentalDefenders, #MichaelForst, who said not only do they criminalize peaceful protest, but they are being enforced in 'punitive and repressive' ways."
