Thank you @foeeurope.bsky.social for this important statement. The NPPF protects and promotes fossil fuel interests - it must be changed.

@casperhk.bsky.social Remember this? Despite High Court win, we’re still battling with new public consultation now underway. Deadline 28 July. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Egdon Resources gets more time to submit details of the environmental impacts of its plans to extract oil in a village in the Lincolnshire Wolds

Just terrifying how much more of this there is going to be

Can't live near mountains, can't live near coasts, can't live near forests, can't live near rivers - where's everyone going to live?

In a climate crisis, there is no such thing as “insignificant GHG emissions”. #NoNewFossilFuels #KeepItInTheGround

Fortunately it's a while until anyone can green or red light this. Govt guidance on how to assess climate emissions is still being written, and Equinor has yet to reapply for consent.
Plenty of time for govt to take in what a disaster this would be, for the climate obviously but also for the economy

Keir Starmer - should you green light this, it will confirm once and for all that you are completely unfit to govern this country at the height of a climate emergency

You must stand down - along with your inept chancellor and other neoliberal cronies

First UK assessment of GHG emissions following Finch Supreme Court ruling is taking place in Lincs Wolds beauty spot where our small local campaign group have been battling for 10 years. We will not go quietly into climate chaos. Please help fund if you can. www.gofundme.com/f/SaveBiscat...

A landmark legal judgement on the climate impact of onshore oil has forced the UK’s first ever formal assessment of carbon emissions from burning hydrocarbons. drillordrop.com/2025/01/14/e...

Does this sound like the kind of robust assessment we need to see? If not please respond to the consultation! It closes next Weds, 12 Feb.

You can find the documents here: lincolnshire.planning-register.co.uk/Appeals/Disp...

Calling those interested in oil & gas and Scope 3 emissions.

Did you know that first formal assessment of GHG from burning oil since my landmark win in the Supreme Court is about to take place?

It's for the Biscathorpe oil site which had permission quashed...

So cheering to hear Ed Miliband's positive and inspiring vision of a fossil fuel future on the Today programme today. It's great to hear a politician in power doing that. But what a shame he's going to spend billions on CCS. There's much better uses for that money.
www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

"Equinor has retracted a claim that it stores about a million tonnes of carbon dioxide annually at its flagship carbon capture project after DeSmog obtained data showing the real figure was as little as a tenth of that amount"

Wait what, fossil fuel companies aren't trustworthy?

Para 7 of NPPF: “At a very high level, the objective of sustainable development can be summarised as meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.” @edmilliband.bsky.social Is this a sick joke? How do you justify new oil&gas?

Onshore oil&gas exploration / extraction (especially in our National Landscapes, eg. Biscathorpe) is totally at odds with “sustainable” planning. NPPF must be changed to reflect this NOW. @edmilliband.bsky.social what are you waiting for?

The Conference of Oil Producers (COP29) succeeded again. The purpose of COPs is to delay meaningful action on climate change so as to permit ongoing high levels of fossil fuel use. This is true even for so-called & PR-slick world leading nations eg. the UK Rosebank oil field & UK airport expansion!
