We had a lot of scenarios for how Cambo would play out, but beating oil giant Shell out of the park wasn't even in there!

This is HUGE and entirely down to people power.
The climate science has always been clear that there can be no new oil and gas fields if we're to limit warming to 1.5ΒΊC, but today Shell have admitted there's no economic case either.

They also cited the 'potential for delays' - delays caused by the Stop Cambo campaign!
Shell had a 30% stake in the project, but without them the future of Cambo crumbles.

Siccar Point Energy (who have the remaining 70%) will really struggle to get someone to take this on if one of the biggest oil companies in the world doesn't want to be involved!

I know I've already said it, but this is genuinely HUGE NEWS and shows that the writing is on the wall for new oil and gas developments in the UK, starting with #Cambo. These developments can't be defended on climate OR economic grounds.

There's no room for new oil and gas developments in a liveable climate and a world where we limit warming to 1.5Β°C. The science couldn't be clearer. The International Energy Agency has said it, the UN has said it, @PriceofOil and others have been saying it for years.
The economics of these projects are also hopeless. The vast majority of oil and gas reserves will be stranded assets in a 1.5Β°C world. @CarbonBubble and others have put that beyond doubt.

It’s (way past) time to scrutinise claims that oil from the #Cambo oil field will be used to meet domestic energy demand in the UK.
In short, it is overwhelmingly likely to be exported.

Oil from Cambo is a heavy crude--sticky gloopy stuff--that's in v low demand. It's not high grade which is partly why it's taken 20+ yrs for the licence-holders to extract it. UK refineries don't buy a lot of Cambo-type oil & aren't set up to turn large amounts into anything...
...domestically useful. BUT let's be generous and assume that Cambo has the same chance as any other domestically-extracted oil of ending up in the UK supply chain.

✊✊✊@ukscn_london activists are occupying @sciencemuseum to protest @Shell sponsorship!

Oil companies create a social licence to operate by sponsoring arts and cultural institutions whilst ignoring demands for justice from communities on the frontlines of their extraction.
Shell has a horrific human rights and environmental record #Ogoni9 #Mossmorran

Shell is the world's 7th biggest polluter and is seeking permission to develop the Cambo oil field despite leading international bodies recommending against any investment in new oil and gas fields.
We Demand:

πŸ‘·β€β™€οΈA worker-led #JusticeTransition that addresses injustices, poverty and inequalities!
πŸ›’οΈ No new fossil fuel investments or infrastructure! #StopCambo
🚨 Urgent action to stop catastrophic climate change! Global temperature rise must be limited to 1.5°C!
