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.

🇫🇷 Un voilier quitte le port d'Oostende, la structure jaune à droite en second plan est une station d'observation hydrographique de la mer. Dans le fond à l'horizon, on peut apercevoir un porte-containers et le parc éolien en construction.
Passez une bonne journée! 👋
🇬🇧 A sailboat leaves the port of Oostende, the yellow structure on the right is an hydrographic sea observation station. In the background on the horizon, we can see a container ship and the wind farm under construction.
Have a nice day! 👋

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.

Teaser of my first 100 km ride with my Brompton. Yesterday, I explored the coast and countryside of Belgium and the Netherlands.
A land-and-coast loop through #WestZeeuwsVlaanderen: starting at #KnokkeHeist train station, riding inland around #Oostburg, and returning along the #NorthSea dikes past #Breskens and #Cadzand.

For #SchiffsSamstag here's the view from the port side, aft looking forward along the top deck of Crown Princess on the North Sea in 2017. At this point in this cruise we were having a sea day between Belgium and Denmark at the start of two weeks in the Baltic Sea.

Perched on the outskirts of Scarborough, the view stretches across rolling fields towards the #NorthSea, where the #EveningHorizon glows softly with the last light of day. Clouds gather over the water, casting dramatic contrasts against a fading #SunsetSky that hints at the wild beauty of the Yorkshire coast. The surrounding #CountrysideEscape is peaceful, with open farmland and hedgerows leading the eye to the distant shoreline. It’s a quiet vantage point popular with walkers exploring the coastal paths and enjoying the expansive #CoastalView.

Scarborough’s South Bay opens to a sweeping sandy beach along the #NorthSea, framed by a peaceful #SeasideLandscape and soft coastal light. A small #HarborLighthouse marks the edge of the historic harbor, contrasting with the cliffs and green hills that rise toward the headland. The #CoastalView stretches across calm waters toward distant headlands, where the tide leaves smooth reflective pools on the sand. Popular with visitors for its #SandyBeach and traditional seaside charm, the bay offers a tranquil pause beside the bustling town.

Waves roll in from the #NorthSea onto the sandy beach of Scarborough, where seaweed is scattered along the shoreline in a classic #CoastalView. The town’s historic lighthouse stands proudly on the harbor wall, reflecting in the water and creating a serene #LighthouseView. Colorful seafront buildings and the working harbor set the backdrop, evoking the charm of a traditional #SeasideTown. The combination of open beach, bustling harbor, and rugged headlands makes it a perfect spot for #BeachPhotography.

This work from my Japan residence, is currently at the #Noordwijk #PleinAir painting festival. All artworks I'll paint there outside this week, will be in the exhibition at the beach.
Please come visit us and check the beautiful place and artworks of the ~50 international artists. On Sunday there's a big closing event with a grand price for the best work.
Details are on the next slides.

The giant Spanish #oil and chemical company #Repsol (just fined for flaring 73 tons of gas in the #NorthSea) has set up a sort of #Christmas wonderland thing on the grounds of the #Vanguardia office in #Barcelona. You walk around and see lights and plastic mushrooms, etc.
They called it "Natura Encesa" which in Catalan means, "Nature on Fire"
Can somebody please have a word with the coms team?

It's National Marine Week with The Wildlife Trusts, so I thought I'd share some marine-related folklore!
This is Inner Farne, in the Farne Islands.
St Cuthbert is said to have driven the evil spirits from the island when he settled there, though they occasionally return. When they do, they scream and ride black goats before disappearing.

It's National Marine Week with The Wildlife Trusts, so I thought I'd share some marine-related folklore!
This is one of the many rocky islands among the Farne Islands - I took this photo back in 2019 on a trip to see the puffins. Some say the islands are haunted by the many shipwrecked sailors who died in the area.

I finished a #PaleoArt piece for an article my father is writing about the natural history of an area in the Netherlands. This is a predatory Sperm whale that lived in the Northsea during the Miocene (13 to 5 million years ago). It's name is Physeterula Ubusi. If you want some more information please read the captions, I've expanded a bit more over there.

Good morning #oceanplanet. It's our second day here and time to introduce ourselves.
We are the national #oceanographic institute of the Netherlands, based on #Texel island and in #Yerseke. Our researchers work on fundamental questions about #biodiversity and #climatechange, by researching #migratorybirds #NorthSea #WaddenSea #buildingwithnature #coastalprotection #benthos #oceancurrents #saltmarshes #wetlands #deepseamining #deepsea #microbiology . We also host the Dutch research vessels.
