BREAKING 🚨: Equinor has admitted the Rosebank oil field would result in 249 million tonnes of CO2.
That's more than the combined annual emissions of Ireland, Belgium and Greece.
But Equinor says that's not their problem. They profit, everyone else pays the price.

Even more money will now flow into the pockets of super-rich shareholders, likely at the expense of other parts of the health sector. This is a disaster for the UK.
