There are half a billion barrels of oil in Rosebank which if burnt would produce 200million tons CO2. The science is absolutely clear about this: we must rapidly phase out fossil fuels for any hope of limiting warming to below 2°C. This means no new old and gas.

The move is part of an effort to roll back the regulation of what are called "forever chemicals" because they don't break down easily in the environment.
