PM urged to stick to spirit of Labour manifesto and reject Jackdaw and Rosebank
The plea to Andy Burnham comes from campaigners at Stop Climate Chaos Scotland.
Andy Burnham has been urged to “stick to the spirit of Labour’s manifesto commitment” and refuse consent for the controversial Jackdaw and Rosebank oil and gas fields.
Stop Climate Chaos Scotland (SCCS) – a campaign group made up of more than 70 different organisations with around one million supporters – insisted the new Prime Minister must block the proposed new developments in the North Sea.
It told the Prime Minister that the lifetime carbon emissions from the two proposed developments could result in up to 65,495 excess heat deaths by the end of this century – adding this would be equivalent to the entire population of the city of Inverness.

The notion of 'climate chaos' may be typical activist twaddle, but more serious would be government policies based on such a ludicrous number as the excess heat death claim. In that case we would be marching towards chaos, not evading it.
Not that we are actively marching away from chaos. Drifting towards it perhaps - too quickly.

But, but... we will need all that extra fossil fuel to run the Air Conditioning to cope with 'Climate Change' and to supplement ineffective heat pumps...
