Direct, full-time jobs opening Rosebank oilfield would create: 450 D, f-t jobs opening Jackdaw gasfield would create: 27 D, f-t jobs in UK's net-zero economy: 300,000 + 400,000 more on the way D, f-t jobs in the rest of the green economy: 600,000 Is that really the hill Burnham wants to die on?

If you don't give a sh*t whether every young people has a short & miserable life ricocheting from one climate disaster, food insecurity to another, then you'll celebrate oil billionaires record profit, and support North Sea Oil drilling to give them more luxury homes, private jets, yachts, bunkers

A ‘Pragmatic’ approach? @andyburnham.bsky.social At 1.5C above preindustrial temps our world is on fire. In Europe, tens of thousands are dead. New oil & gas means our children face 4C+. Scientists warn BILLIONS will die. Pragmatism is suicide. Bold leadership means an EMERGENCY APPROACH!

14,000 killed by Europe heatwave in a single week. 300,000 flee wildfires in France & Spain. 70 MILLION in the US to be hit with third heat dome in a month. This is our world as it approaches 1.5C above preindustrial temperatures. Our kids face 4C+. We claim to love them. But we do nothing.

The off ramp for Kemi Badenoch to land on a still reckless and ineffective but vaguely intellectually coherent combination of techno-optimism, planning deregulation, and climate adaptation is being constructed. Is she willing to break with the online right and take it?

++BREAKING++ The Daily Telegraph has... *rubs eyes* ...published something sensible about climate change: "I’m coming to the view that the Online Right is going wrong, eschewing compassion or charm, talking itself into corners of angry irrelevance. Take climate change."

For too long, major polluters treated climate action as an optional political choice. Turning the ICJ’s legal ruling into UN action means governments can finally face real legal consequences for subsidising fossil fuels. Human rights must come before big oil's profits. 🏛️ #ClimateAction

Vanuatu’s UN resolution turns the ICJ’s advisory opinion into a practical roadmap for state accountability. It affirms that protecting the climate is a legal duty under international law, requiring states to phase out fossil fuels and compensate for harm. ⚖️ #ClimateCrisis
